The Iranians arrested over the weekend in the UK were planning on carrying out a large terror attack at the Israeli embassy in London, The Times reported on Wednesday.
The police have refused to comment on the details of the case, but according to the report, “it is understood the embassy was the main target.”
“Dan Jarvis, the security minister, refused to give details of the immigration status of the suspects citing the continuing police inquiry,” the report added.
The suspects were reportedly “hours away” from carrying out the attack before being arrested. Authorities said that the suspects’ plots were “some of the biggest counter-state threats” the UK has seen in recent years.
According to the report, British security and intelligence officials have grown increasingly concerned about Iranian threats on British soil.
In October, MI5 Director General Sir Ken McCallum warned that Iran could target the UK if it believes it is showing too much support to Israel.
The Telegraph revealed on Tuesday that one of the suspects has close ties to the Iranian regime.
