Iran plots to activate terrorist sleeper cell network across West in desperate last act in face of Israeli destruction
A ‘VULNERABLE’ IRAN may activate a network of sleeper cells across the West in the face of the Israeli bombing campaign, experts have warned.
With its military and top Islamist leadership on the ropes, analysts say a weakened Iran could resort to asymmetric terror warfare in a bid to sow chaos against its enemies.



It has now been more than a week since Israel began pounding Iran’s nuclear facilities and other military targets.
The goal, as the Israelis say, is to thwart the Iranian regime’s efforts to produce nuclear weapons – as well as more ballistic missiles, including long-range weapons that can strike targets far beyond Israel.
While Iran has been responding by launching frequent salvos of ballistic missiles, its top military command has been decapitated.
And Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been forced to live in underground bunkers.
Experts now fear that a vicious Iran could awaken its network of sleeper cells to carry out terror plots across the West.
Barak Seener, a security and defence expert at Henry Jackson Society and Iran expert, said: “The very fact now that the Iranian regime is volatile, it’s targeted, and it’s highly vulnerable — that’s what actually makes it increasingly dangerous to the West.”
Iran’s murderous Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is thought to run an extensive network of sleeper cells across the world.
Mr Seener said that these sleeper cells could be regular people living regular lives.
But when given the signal, they could carry out terrorist activities targeting the West.
These terror operations could target public infrastructure and even civilians, with no weapons off the table, experts warn.
The sleeper cells could even carry out assassination attempts on top leaders that could throw the world into chaos.
Last year, an Iranian agent was charged with plotting to kill Donald Trump in an assassination that would have shaken the world.
US prosecutors say the rogue state told ex-con Farhad Shakeri — said to be hiding in Tehran — to devise a seven-day plan to spy on and murder him.
Prosecutors said an official in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard told Shakeri to devise a plan to eliminate the President elect.
They claim the planned hit was an attempt to take vengeance for a US drone strike ordered by Trump that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, then said to be the world’s No1 terrorist, in 2020.
Trump’s former security advisor, John Bolton, said the US President is “at the top” of an “assassination list” from the Middle East nation.
Mr Seener said: “They live amongst us in regular communities, have regular jobs, and they just are awaiting being activated to conduct malign activities, whether it be through a telephone text or a beeper, and then they already know what they are going to be doing.
“If the regime feels threatened and on the verge of being toppled, then they may say, ‘you’re going to go down with us,’ and at that point they may unleash their sleeper cells.”
In an op-ed for The Sun, expert Mark Almond wrote: “Iran’s Islamic regime is a dangerous, wounded predator.
“It cannot defeat Israel, but it could go mad and unleash terrorism, even using chemical weapons, which its industries can make much more easily than nuclear weapons.”

Mr Seener said the attacks could range from an attack against a synagogue, an embassy, or blowing up a dirty bomb in Central London.
Sir Ken McCallum, the head of MI5, warned back in October that Iran could turn on UK targets if it felt Britain was too enthusiastic in its support for Israel.
He said the attacks could increase if the Middle East conflict intensifies.
In August, Matt Jukes, the head of Counter Terror Policing, warned that Britain is facing an increase in plots by hostile states.
He said Iranian dissidents and diaspora communities have been “clearly at risk of kidnapping or assassination”.
“These are people who are doing it daily. And when you are projecting soft power, you’re creating the cultural milieu in which terrorism can be conducted much more readily.
Counterterror police have investigated 15 of these cases alongside MI5.
MI5 has responded to 20 plots backed by Iran since 2022, it was reported.
Mr Seener said: “The reason why the Irgc can act with impunity, and why British citizens are at risk, is because of the British Government’s unwillingness and failure to designate the Irgc as a terrorist organisation.
“It means that they are able to conduct activities and infiltrate mosques, charities, community centres, cultural centres, and many of them, their directorship has been directly appointed by the supreme leader, Khamenei.”
“British Shias go on pilgrimages to religious sites in Iran and Iraq. They are targeted by the IRGC and recruited, so that when they return to the UK, they can conduct surveillance on potential targets.”
Iran's terror on UK street
By Sayan Bose, Foreign News Reporter
Iran-fuelled hit squads on the streets of the UK have been linked to at least 15 threats to kill or kidnap detected by authorities.
They are all part of a campaign of intimidation aimed at those who speak out against the hardline regime.
The MI5 has accused Tehran of more than a dozen assassination and kidnap plots in Britain against dissidents and media organisations in the past two years.
Officials have previously warned that the threat against Iranian critics living in the UK has ramped up drastically after the horror October 7 attacks.
And given the hostile situation in the Middle East, Iran could ramp up its secret terror activities in the UK, Europe and the US, experts fear.
In 2022, Major Gen Hossein Salami, the Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC warned: “You’ve tried us before. Watch out because we’re coming for you.”
Last year, Iranian TV journalist Pouria Zeraati was stabbed outside his home in London, sparking an investigation led by counter-terrorism police.
The suspects were believed to be proxy agents hired by Tehran.
Mr Zeraati works for Iran International, a London-based Persian-speaking channel which has reported on Iran’s human rights violations.
He said a man approached him and asked for £3 before another man appeared and stabbed him in the leg.
The two fled in a car being driven by a third man, leaving Mr Zeraati bleeding in the street.
Investigators believed the three culprits were able to flee the country on a flight from Heathrow within hours of the attack.
Mr Zeraati, whose organisation has been a vocal critic of Iran, said the attack was a “warning shot” from Tehran.
He called on the UK government to declare the IRGC a terrorist group to stop it from spreading its doctrine.
He said: “It will also send a clear message to the regime in Iran that enough is enough.
“The whole of Western civilisation is in danger because of the threat the IRGC poses.”
A report by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) found almost half of journalists who covered Iran from the UK reported being physically or verbally harassed in the past five years.
Individuals have been sent death threats by text and voice notes, with one message noting that the “water underneath Westminster Bridge was very deep”.
One said they were constantly worried about Iran targeting their children, saying: “I wake up in the middle of the night. I check my son to see if he’s there. I won’t let him play in the garden on his own. I have to be there. I’m on alert constantly.”
Another reporter told the RSF she had a package, which was designed to look like it contained anthrax, hand-delivered to her apartment block.
While female TV journalist was approached on a London bus by a man who told her: “We will kill you. You are a very bad person.”
All of them are understood to have voiced their dissent against Tehran.
The IRGC is the principal supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah, both of which are proscribed in the UK.
Amid threats of all-out war in the Middle East, officials last year wanted to expedite tightening domestic terror laws to ban IRGC operatives from nurturing Islamist terrorism at home.
Current sanctions on Iran do not prevent state-linked organisations spreading jihadi propaganda or carrying out soft-power activities designed to radicalize British citizens.
Kasra Aarabi, Director of IRGC Research at United Against Nuclear Iran, said: “The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is the most antisemitic armed Islamist extremist organisation in the world.
“The government needs to proscribe the IRGC as a matter of urgency.
“The failure to proscribe the IRGC is putting British lives at risk, not least those from the British-Jewish community and British-Iranian diaspora —the two primary targets of IRGC terrorism in the UK.”
RTE Fair City viewers all call for soap to ‘get rid’ of Carrigstown local as Ger finally gets her payback
RTE Fair City viewers were all left saying the same thing after Ger finally got her payback on Liam.
On tonight’s episode, Cass tried to teach Orla and Nikki a lesson, while Mondo and Ray went head-to-head.


Liam apologised to Sharon and asked her to take him back, but she was not ready to accept the offer.
And later, Ger apologised to Sharon and warned her not to believe anything Liam said.
Following her talk with Sharon, Ger met with Liam and accidently provoked him.
However, when Liam grabbed Ger, Dean intervened, and he realised he had been set up.
After Liam grabbed her, Ger threatened to report him for assault if he did not give back the locket.
Sharon discovered the locket that Liam had hidden and realised he’s been lying to her.
Liam was furious when he saw the locket was missing and found out Sharon wanted to end things for good.
RTE viewers raced to social media to share their opinions as the action heated up on Fair City.
Thomas wrote: “Ger will have to pay back Dean #FairCity style.”
John tweeted: “Get rid of Liam.”
Another viewer added: “Go way Liam you wouldn’t bate snow off a rope.”
Elsewhere on the show, Emma asked Hughie to come and meet her for a discussion about the rent.
Meanwhile, James told Rafferty he should take a step back as things have gotten too personal between him and Joan.
And Holly tried to connect with Mondo in an attempt get him to accept Rafferty’s new deal.
While at their protest, Ray accused Mondo of being a scab after he crossed the picket line to deal with a work crisis.
WORK CRISIS
The Rafferty’s celebrated with Joan and Holly while a deal was struck between them and the protesting tenants.
After hearing Jacinta out, Ray decided to apologise to Mondo and re-assure his son.
Judge Cowhey told Joan he wouldn’t report her, easing her path to Canada Joan was still unsure if the job was right for her.
But after a conversation with Gareth, Joan decided to accept the job.
Following Joan’s decision to take the job in Canada, she told Rafferty they have to end their relationship.
BIG BREAK
Elsewhere in Carrigstown, Cass sought the help of Nikki and Sean to trick Kira and Orla into thinking someone wants to do a TV piece on Cass’ travel souvenirs and asked if one of them will speak on his behalf.
Delighted at the prospect of being on TV, Orla jumped at the idea, but not before Sean broke the news to Orla and Kira that the TV interview was a ruse.
This finally caused Cass to call a family meeting to confront Kira and Orla over their selfish ways.
Shock moment Harry tries to break up Love Island couple telling girl ‘you’re The One’
A VILLA hunk tried to break up a Love Island couple telling the girl ‘you’re The One’ in a shocking moment.
During Friday night’s episode, Harry seemingly made a move on an old flame after smooching Yasmin last night.



At the start of the series, Harry had his sights set on Shakira before he snuck out of the bedroom and had a steamy night with Helena.
Things then ended between Harry and Shakira, though he did tell her he thought they would have “unfinished business”.
After coupling up with Helena, things seemed to be going well before his head got turned by new girl Yasmin.
This week, Harry had some steamy chats with Yasmin, with the pair even sneaking off to the hideaway during the day for a snog.
But now Harry is keen for his old flame, Shakira, who he seems to have “unfinished business” with – as he previously predicted.
In tonight’s episode, Harry made a move for Shakira again and even told her she’s “The One”.
Pulling Shakira for a chat, Harry asks how she’s feeling.
“Initially, you were number one for me,” Harry said in a candid way to the stunning brunette.
He then said that he doesn’t think he would do the things he does if they were together, because she “wouldn’t stand for it”.
“It was you,” Shakira confessed, “And still is you. But it’s your behaviour for me that I can’t tolerate.”
Harry then admitted that he wanted to spend some more time with her and rekindle what they had at the start.
“If that could possibly be arranged?” he pleaded.
Shakira then said: “It could be arranged.”
Reacting to this interaction, one person said: “Shakira please don’t go for Harry!

“Shakira and Ben were my favourites. Even Shakiras mum said she doesn’t like Harry.”
A second added: “I’ve said all along half of Harry’s behaviour is because he doesn’t want to be with Helena he wants Shakira.”
While a third penned: “Harry is such a player. I would not trust him a thing he says.”
The brunette beauty is currently coupled up with Ben, though things between the pair haven’t been great of late.
Ben has made some comments to Shakira that have proved to be problematic.
At the beginning of the series, he chose another girl and said it “humbled” Shakira when he did so.

Sex drug Viagra has surprising new health benefit and could help 3 million ageing Brits, say scientists

SEX aid pill Viagra helps stiffen your skeleton, a study suggests.
The little blue tablet was found to increase production of vital bone cells — so could one day prevent back pain and fractures in old age.
Researchers found sildenafil, which is branded as Viagra, helped human stem cells transform into osteoblasts, the bone-building cells.
These are vital as the human skeleton regenerates and is completely replaced roughly once every ten years.
As we age, we lose more bone than we build, increasing the risk of breaks or osteoporosis, which makes bones brittle and painful.
The Peking University team’s follow-up tests on mice also suggested sildenafil would prevent bone loss.
Dr Menglong Hu and Dr Likun Wu said: “Our findings offer new insights into the physiological effects of the medicine.
“Sildenafil enhanced stem cell osteogenic differentiation and inhibited bone loss — it may usefully treat osteoporosis.”
More than three million Britons suffer osteoporosis. Other treatments exist but the researchers said it would be handy to have more cheap and readily available drugs.
They said: “Any new drug must be evaluated. This is time-consuming, expensive and risky. But sildenafil is approved and safe.”
Viagra was invented as a heart drug in the 1980s before it was found to help with erectile dysfunction.
Studies have since suggested it might also reduce dementia risk.

Claudia Winkleman looks totally different as she goes bare-faced after eye op and reveals BAN on trademark eyeliner
CLAUDIA Winkleman has posted a make-up free snap after undergoing an eye operation.
The Traitors host, 53, gushed about her doctor who looks after her sight following a successful procedure.

However, Claudia revealed she will be forced to go without her trademark eyeliner for weeks as she recovers.
Although she didn’t go into detail about what she had done, it’s thought to be laser eye surgery, which is used to correct vision problems.
Posting a snap of her cuddled up to her eye doctor Julian, Claudia wrote on social media: “This amazing human makes me see.
“He’s operated on my eyes before and he did it again today.
“No eyeliner for weeks and I sleep in googles (no words) but I’m eternally grateful.
“Do NOT zoom in on my left eye – it’s wonky.
“Thank you Julian. I paid for the treatment, this isn’t an ad.
“I just love him. It’s very possible I’m still a bit sedated. Night night.”
Rape charge against asylum seeker in taxpayer-funded hotel kept quiet to avoid inflaming ‘community tension in cover up’
A RAPE charge against a man staying in an asylum hotel was kept quiet — as officials feared inflaming “community tension”.
There were also two other rape cases where it was not disclosed that the suspects were in taxpayer-funded asylum hotels.

Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said the “perception of a migrant cover-up” was growing.
He went on: “The illegal small-boat crossings are a national security emergency.
“We’ve seen terrorism, murders and rapes from those who’ve come here illegally. It’s outrageous.
“Women in towns with asylum hotels shouldn’t have to live in fear.
The authorities must trust the public with the truth and act to protect them.”
The rape suspects were all housed in Home Office-funded accommodation in Portsmouth, London and Manchester.
At Portsmouth, the alleged rape was followed by a concerted effort to keep secret the suspect’s link to an asylum hotel.
He was charged with rape and voyeurism after the alleged attack on a woman on June 11.
Police confirmed to The Sun he had been at the Royal Beach Hotel in Southsea, used to house asylum seekers.
The man appeared at Portsmouth magistrates’ court on June 16. He was remanded in custody and is no longer at the hotel.
No statement was issued about the case but Portsmouth City Council officials were briefed privately.
The Sun understands councillors were warned not to speak about the suspect’s housing, with one council officer raising fears about “community tension” if it was known.
Another senior official privately urged Portsmouth Independents Party leader Cllr George Madgwick not to share “privileged confidential information” after he took to social media to express his frustration.


Cllr Madgwick said: “This is precisely why the public don’t trust politicians and public bodies: things are hidden that should be disclosed.
Anyone involved in any form of cover-up from disclosure to the public should question their role in a publicly funded position.”
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said last night: “The council officials who hid the truth about these serious allegations should immediately face the sack.
“Decent people are getting angrier every day.”
Portsmouth City Council effectively admitted it chose not to go public, saying it was informed of the charge ahead of the court hearing but left public statements to police.
A spokesman said: “We knew the Home Office accommodation link would become public knowledge through the court proceedings and, based on events elsewhere in the country, were conscious there may be community tensions related to it.”
Girl 'sex ordeal'

EXCLUSIVE
By Alex Diaz
A MIGRANT living at an asylum seeker hotel raped a vulnerable 17-year-old girl, a court heard.
Mohammed Akbari, 23, allegedly attacked her in bushes after they arranged to go to a park, having first met at a hospital.
The teen felt dizzy after Akbari, from Iran, gave her an alcoholic drink, Uxbridge magistrates’ court heard.
She allegedly told him to stop the assault, in Harmondsworth, West London, on June 9. He claims she consented to sex.
Akbari arrived in the UK last year, claiming he is Christian and at risk in Iran. He is in custody and will return to court on July 18.
Two similar cases also saw no public statements issued about the suspects’ links to asylum housing.
One involved a 27-year-old man staying at a hotel in Kensington, West London.
He faces multiple charges over a serious sex attack, including rape and attempted rape.
He pleaded not guilty on June 2 and was remanded in custody before a trial in October. In Manchester, a Jordanian with an asylum claim under way was charged with rape while living at a Home Office-contracted hotel.
He appeared at Tameside magistrates’ court last month and was remanded in custody until a crown court hearing next week.
The man, 34, has yet to enter a plea.
Meanwhile, an asylum seeker in a hotel in Yorkshire was charged with raping a girl aged 13 to 15 last Boxing Day.

Last night the Government said: “We have taken action to ban foreign nationals who commit sexual offences from being granted asylum.”
Our revelations come after an illegal migrant was jailed for raping a girl of 15, amid claims he did not understand “cultural differences”.
Afghan national Sadeq Nikzad, 29, pounced on the teen in Falkirk in October 2023. Defence counsel Janice Green told the High Court in Livingston there was a “cultural barrier” with Nikzad’s home nation where child marriage is common.
There is no suggestion any of the accused in the three latest rape cases are linked to grooming gangs.
But the issue of alleged criminality by illegal arrivals was raised in an official report this week.
A damning review by Dame Louise Casey found they are involved in a “significant proportion” of live police investigations into child sex grooming gangs.
The report found police and council leaders covered up the scale of Asian grooming gangs since concerns were first raised in 2009 as they feared being called racist or raising community tensions.
- Additional reporting: RICHARD MORIARTY
'Axe hate team'

By Martina Bet
LABOUR’S work on a definition of Islamophobia threatens to shut down efforts to tackle grooming gangs, a report has warned.
The party’s working group on anti-Muslim hate should be suspended immediately until after the new inquiry into the scandal, think tank Policy Exchange says.
Report co-author Sir John Jenkins said a definition would be an “undeniable act of two-tier policy”.
The group says even a non-binding definition risks silencing victims.
It comes days after Baroness Casey’s report said officials failed to mention that perpetrators were Asian for fear of appearing racist.
Terror cops probe RAF security bungle after pro-Palestine fanatics break into Britain’s biggest air base
TERROR cops were last night probing a security shambles after pro-Palestine fanatics on scooters broke into Britain’s biggest air base.
The thugs hurled red paint into two planes’ engines after cutting fencing at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire.



PM Keir Starmer called the attack “disgraceful”.
The group, Palestine Action will be outlawed as a terrorist organisation after the brazen paint stunt at Britain’s biggest air base.
The Government was last night under huge pressure following the security shambles at the high-security base.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper responded by saying she will put forward legislation on Monday to make being a member of the group illegal.
Two fanatics on electric scooters were thought to have cut a section of the base’s eight-mile perimeter fence in rural Oxfordshire, early yesterday.
Palestine Action posted a 34-second video of the pair riding up to two Airbus Voyagers in the dark.
They then used converted fire extinguishers to spray paint on to the turbines and fuselages of the planes in a bid to ruin the engines.
The fanatics fled and were being hunted by counter-terror cops.
PM Sir Keir Starmer condemned the action as “disgraceful” and “an act of vandalism”.
The group also targeted commercial sites in Manchester and Chelmsford, Essex, yesterday which they claimed had links to Israel.
Checks were under way on the aircraft, which cost £750million over their lifetime. Sources said damage to the engines could run into “seven figures”.
The RAF does not expect the incident to affect wider operations.
Brize Norton — home to 6,000 military staff, 300 civilian workers and 1,200 contractors — is the hub for UK strategic air transport and refuelling, including flights to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus.


Palestine Action said: “By decommissioning two military planes, Palestine Action have directly intervened in the genocide and prevented crimes against Palestinians.”
But a defence source said the group was “confused and misguided” in its mission.
The source said: “These planes were for air transport and air-to-air refuelling. Trying to link the Voyager fleet to Gaza is ridiculous.”
An MoD spokesman confirmed that Voyager aircraft had not been involved in refuelling or supporting Israeli Air Force jets.
They have been used to refuel RAF Typhoons fighting IS in Iraq and Syria, and against the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
Retired Col Richard Kemp said: “Brize was attacked not by external forces but the enemy within. It was a deliberate act of sabotage.”
Lord West, the former head of the Royal Navy, described the breach as “shocking”.
He added: “Bearing in mind the very real risks of attacks from terrorists and Russian proxy state actors, it’s unbelievable that such lax protection should be afforded to vital equipment and, in the final analysis, our people.”
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch called it “deeply concerning”.
She said: “This is not lawful protest, it’s politically-motivated criminality.”
A defence source said it was impossible to patrol the base “24/7, 365”.
They said: “We do have fences, cameras and barbed wire but to patrol with dogs all the time costs a huge amount of manpower and some of it comes back on spending to the Armed Forces.”


After the stunt, Defence Secretary John Healey said he had ordered an investigation and a review of wider security at our bases. Counter-terror police were investigating along with Thames Valley Police and the MoD.
Palestine Action has previously focused attention on Israeli defence contractor Elbit Systems Ltd.
In March the group claimed to have shut down its Bristol HQ using a cherry picker. Four people were charged over damage caused.
Hunt for missiles as Israel blitzed

By Nick Parker, in Tel Aviv
ISRAELI fighter-bombers were racing against time to smash Iranian missile launchers last night as ballistic rockets rained down on the Jewish state.
It came as a mushroom cloud hung over Israel’s northern port city of Haifa where a blast left 17 people injured, three seriously, yesterday afternoon.
Shrapnel tore into a 16-year-old boy’s upper body, and two other victims, aged 54 and 40, had blast wounds to their legs.
An overnight lull in the attacks — in which just one Iranian rocket penetrated Israel’s Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow missile shields — ended with a rare nationwide alert.
Sirens sounded from Galilee in the north, Tel Aviv in the west, the capital Jerusalem, and the southern city of Beersheba where a hospital was hit on Thursday.
Huge blasts were heard as interceptors streaked into the sky and explosions were reported across the nation as about 25 missiles homed in.
The worst damage was reported in Haifa as Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei crowed that Israel was getting its “comeuppance”.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog said last night that Haifa’s Al-Jarina mosque “was struck by an Iranian missile, injuring Muslim clerics and worshippers”.
And the IDF said an Iranian missile which hit Beersheba was fitted with a cluster bomb warhead.
These weapons — banned by 112 nations — explode above ground, scattering bomblets to cause maximum damage and casualties.
Israeli warplanes were yesterday mounting constant missions to knock out Iran’s 300 rocket launchers.
Officials claimed two thirds of them had been hit.
DAZN forced to apologise as John Obi Mikel launches X-rated rant at Nicolas Jackson after Chelsea red card
DAZN were forced to apologise after John Obi Mikel launched an X-rated rant live on air after seeing Nicolas Jackson get sent off for Chelsea.
Jackson was given his marching orders in the second half for a high challenge on a Flamengo opponent after he came on as a substitute.


With Enzo Maresca’s side already 2-1 down, it left the Blues with a mountain to climb – a task they ultimately failed as they lost 3-1.
And after the game, former Chelsea midfielder Obi Mikel did not hold back in his assessment of the 24-year-old’s actions.
While shaking his head he said: “Unbelievable. Stupid stupid stupid mistake. I don’t know what was going through his head.
“Your team needs you and he does that. He did the same at Newcastle… you can’t keep making these mistakes…
“I don’t care what his frustration is (Delap starting). This is a massive football club and it’s about competition.
“If you’re angry or p***ed off, then you have to embrace it. We need competition.”
