According to: Daily Mails Regime in Iran is recruiting British Muslims on pilgrimages in the Middle East to spy on Jews and dissidents in the UK (and maybe other western countries), it was claimed last night. Recruiters from the feared Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) approach British(and maybe other westerns countries) Shias visiting religious sites in Iran and Iraq.

They are told to return to the UK and gather information on prominent British Jews or targets such as synagogues, for future terrorist activities Israeli and British officials have separately told the Mail.

Some spy on British-based Iranian dissidents, whom the Tehran regime accuses of fomenting unrest back home.

Last night, an Israeli official said that since Hamas's October 7 massacre, they had given a higher-than-usual number of warnings to the UK, alerting this country to potential attacks by Iranians or their proxies. 

Experts have also warned that some Iranians who come to study at British universities as international students on state scholarships are also spies.

Kasra Aarabi, of the United Against Nuclear Iran think-tank, said IRGC recruiters did not focus on hiring British Iranians, who are usually secular and oppose the Ayatollah regime. But British Shias who originated from Pakistan, Iraq and Lebanon were targeted at the Arbaeen festival in the holy Iraqi city of Karbala, which attracts up to 20 million pilgrims a year.
