Iran’s Shadow Network in Britain | Wilmington News
Description
An Iran expert is demanding the UK shut down the Islamic Center of England, alleging it’s a front for Iran’s supreme leader—with its Imam personally appointed by Tehran. Amid rising Iranian threats, including from the IRGC, critics warn Iran is exploiting the migrant crisis to infiltrate Britain via charities and mosques, building a “soft power” network to radicalize and destabilize. The center denies being an Iranian government office, insists it’s a lawful charity, and claims it hasn’t sponsored workers since 2022. The UK Home Office says it’s investigating and has tightened laws to combat Iranian influence, while experts say this covert infrastructure mirrors ISIS and Al-Qaeda tactics—with little government response.
