47% :In a speech at MI5's Thames House headquarters in London on Wednesday, McCallum said Beijing was "trying to rewrite the rulebook, to buy the league, to recruit our coaching staff to work for them," and Iran "will only let people support one team and is prepared to use violence against those who don't toe the line.""We're alive to the risk of these teams loaning players to each other, amplifying their strengths," said McCallum, pointing out that Iran had been supplying drones to Russia which were "inflicting misery in Ukraine."He focused his attention on the threat from Tehran and said there had been at least 10 plots by Iranian intelligence services to kidnap or kill British or "UK-based" people who were "enemies of the regime."
43% : McCallum said the growing threat from Russia, China, and Iran was a "huge challenge" but MI5's main focus remained on terrorism and he said lone wolf attacks remained "fiendishly hard to detect and disrupt."
