MI5 chief says Iran is targeting military sites and suspected plot at RAF Fairford is 'not unique’

Key FactsMI5 Chief Says Iran Targeting UK Military Sites

6 days ago · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: abcnews.com

According to MI5 chief Ken McCallum, Iran is expanding attacks in Britain toward harder targets such as military sites.

On September 27, scores of residents near RAF Fairford were evacuated; investigators found gasoline, but no explosives, in three vans.

British authorities linked the incident to Iran; Iran denied involvement, and the United States withdrew its bombers.

McCallum highlighted emerging AI risks, and MI5 has established a new center to assess such threats.

One risk is that AI could enable dangerous knowledge to get into the hands of people we would all rather didn’t have that knowledge.
— Ken McCallum, MI5 Director, during a speech outlining major threats to the U.K.
