22 countries warn Iran over overseas attacks

A GOV.UK-published joint statement from 22 countries condemned alleged Iranian security-service plotting and HAYI-claimed attacks in Europe, North America, and Australia. Guardian live coverage tied the warning into the same overnight crisis cycle as U.S.-Iran strikes and Gulf retaliation.

Why this matters. The statement extends crisis pressure beyond Gulf bases and Hormuz into alleged external operations against dissidents, journalists, Jewish and Israeli communities, and U.S. interests. Watch whether signatories move from warning to sanctions, expulsions, arrests, or new protective measures.
