British-Iranians have urged Andy Burnham to overhaul Britain's visa system over fears the Islamic Republic is using immigration routes to wage "psychological warfare" on the United Kingdom.Speaking to GB News, they warned fellow countrymen arriving in Britain on student and work permits are creating a reign of self-censorship and fear in their communities.Sources said Labour must enact tighter restrictions on visa applications from Iran, bringing standards in line with other countries such as the United States, to help combat a "culture of fear" that has arisen.In one of the last acts of Sir Keir Starmer's administration, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was designated as a hostile state-backed organisation following a series of alleged Iran-linked plots and attacks on British soil.
