That is the nature of the domestic threat Iran poses to the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iranian terrorist groups have also been linked to the cyber attacks on UK infrastructure &#8211; including on MPs in 2017 and on government email servers in 2018, the Daily Star wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Gobadi told Daily Star Online the rise of the proxies can be linked to the Iraq War in 2003, which \u201copened the doors to the regime as a gateway to the rest of the region\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe expansion of the regime\u2019s conduct in the region did not stem from its strength and prowess. Rather it was the consequence of the weak approach of the international community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also claimed that \u201cuntil two years ago, [the Iranian regime] paid no price for its outlaw conduct\u201d &#8211; which is helping to fuel the expansion of the proxies.<\/p>\n<p>More sanctions must be placed on the leadership of the Iranian regime and they should be designated as \u201cterrorists\u201d, Gobadi added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ultimate solution is regime change by the Iranian people and the Resistance. The West should recognize the right of the people of Iran and the Resistance for regime change and should stand on their side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe clerical regime has never been as weak as today, and the prospect of its overthrow has never been so close.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tensions have heightened in recent months as Iran&#8217;s regime is accused of attempting to disrupt global oil markets by locking down the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p>Iran&#8217;s regime has been accused of staging attacks on tankers.<\/p>\n<p>It also shot down a US drone \u2013 nearly prompting a limited strike by the Pentagon before an 11th hour U-turn by President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>And causing further tensions, the regime in Iran has broken the binds placed on its enrichment of uranium by the nuclear deal.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump\u2019s administration argues the deal was too soft on Iran&#8217;s regime and it didn\u2019t impact its missile programme of sponsor of terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>Britain\u2019s new Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has inherited the crisis as tensions rise in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>HMS Duncan and HMS Montrose have been given instructions to escort all British shipping in the Strait of Hormuz amid fears of further seizures after the capture of Stena Impero.<\/p>\n<p>US officials called on Britain, France and Germany to join a naval task force to secure shipping in the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iranian opposition activists and security analysts have revealed to Britain&rsquo;s Daily Star the extent of the terrorist groups linked to the regime in Tehran.
