It comes in the week Iranians living in the UK have expressed safety concerns to authorities amid heightened tensions linked to the conflict with the US and Israel.

“There are people that have lived here for 40-plus years and there’s never been any issues, and it’s just all of a sudden we keep hearing every day about incidents involved with these pro-monarchists and their intimidation,” Naghmeh Rajabi, a British-Iranian activist, said.

“We are very worried,” said Rajabi, who is a supporter of Maryam Rajavi, a leader of the exiled dissident group Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK).

“Unless concrete action is taken, this is just going to escalate,” Rajabi said.

Det Supt Katie Harber, who leads policing in the borough, said: “London is a global city and the impact of events that take place thousands of miles away play out locally in the capital.

“We understand the fears that many people in our Iranian communities may have.”
