An investigation has uncovered what appears to be an Iranian intelligence operation seeking to recruit Britons to stage anti-Israel street demonstrations and distribute propaganda posters.A journalist from The Times, working undercover, spent more than two weeks communicating with a suspected operative after responding to a recruitment link on a public Telegram channel purportedly connected to the Islamic Republic's security services.The channel, advertised on Iranian state television, directed the reporter to an account called "VIPEmployment" where contact was established with an individual identifying himself as Mahdy, who claimed to be based in Iran.The suspected agent asserted he was coordinating multiple operatives across the UK whilst also suggesting he maintained communications with contacts in Israel.
