Conservative response to arrest of suspected Iranian spies

Dame Priti Patel MP, Shadow Foreign Secretary, said:

“This is a stark reminder of the serious threat the Iranian regime poses on British soil.

“The alleged attempts to spy on the British Jewish community highlight the foul anti-Semitism at the heart of the fundamentalist regime in Tehran.

“Having dithered over taking action against Iran's murderous regime and undermined our relationships with our allies, Keir Starmer must show he will put the national security of Britain first and end the scourge of Iranian espionage in our country.”
