Iran Caught Slipping Covert Operatives Into Britain Along Migrant Routes

Iran has been moving covert operatives into Britain along the migrant routes into Europe, with some already positioned in London and awaiting orders from Tehran. British authorities have intercepted individuals suspected of ties to Iranian intelligence as they attempted to enter the United Kingdom aboard small boats crossing the English Channel. People smugglers operating in Europe have said that Iran helped migrants reach Britain in exchange for carrying out a "favor" for Iran once they had established themselves in the country.

Elements of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps control portions of the smuggling routes running from the Middle East into Europe. "Revolutionary individuals" were moved into London through networks tied to Unit 700, the logistics arm of the IRGC's Quds Force. An Iranian source said that Tehran already has operatives in the British capital waiting to be activated, and threatened that Iran could make London unsafe if it chose to do so. The same source said Tehran regards the migrant routes as more useful than missiles, adding that Iran "does not need a missile to target London, it's easier than that."

Sources assessed that the number of individuals associated with the IRGC who have entered Britain legally on flights from European countries is likely greater than the number who attempted the crossing by boat. They also noted that recruiting people already living in Britain, or using criminal networks as proxies, could create a significantly greater threat than inserting operatives through migrant boats. The UK Home Office said that national security is a top priority and that people arriving by small boat undergo security checks. Anyone identified as posing a national security threat is detained immediately, with the office working to remove that person from the country as soon as possible.

Sovereign Lord, nothing is hidden from You, and no plot laid in darkness escapes Your sight. We pray that You would expose every scheme the Iranian regime has set in motion against Britain, against Israel, and against the Jewish communities of Europe, and that those charged with guarding the nations would be given eyes to see what is being smuggled past them. Strengthen the hands of the intelligence services and border officers who stand in the gap. We ask in Yeshua's Name that the men sent to harm would be found before they act, and that the schemes of the wicked would come to nothing.
