Will the Government ever wake up to the threat Iran poses to Britain?, writes Nigel Farage

No, not just from Russia and the external threats, but the internal threat.

And the internal threat, very clearly, in my view, comes from Iran.

Here’s what I said back in May 2025:

“Today, a further 600 young men already today have been processed through Dover.”

“Perhaps the odd Iranian terrorist among them.”

“Does the Home Secretary accept, you know, that the policy of ‘smash the gangs’ is a complete and total failure?”

And I keep repeating the questions.

I keep asking the question of Prime Ministers, of Home Secretaries’

Their response? Well, the Labour backbenchers just shout: “Shame on you!”

And it seems PMs just put their fingers in their ears and pretend there isn’t a problem.

Well, two men have just been found guilty of not just spying but planning violent assault’s.

Mostafa Sepahvand and Farhad Manesh.

And think about this.

There are, through the boats alone, through the boats alone, nearly 34,000 Iranians walking the streets freely in our country.

No passports.

We have no clue who they are.

And who knows what percentage of those actually wish ill intent for this country?

And, of course, the two convicted yesterday, one came in the back of a lorry and one came by boat.

I was right about this.

I was right.

What I said, I had intelligence that that is what the Iranian regime were doing, using the boats to smuggle in their operatives, spies and maybe terrorists to.

Will the Government ever wake up to this?
