An Israeli F-16 squadron commander speaks to i24NEWS<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-is=\"component-paragraph\">The ministry said MI6 would now fall within the scope of Iran\u2019s espionage law concerning cooperation with Israel and countries Tehran considers hostile. It separately invoked legislation adopted in response to Washington\u2019s terrorist designation of the Revolutionary Guards to justify its action against Britain\u2019s naval and air forces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-is=\"component-paragraph\">The announcement follows a series of British accusations against Iran. Last month, Prime Minister Andy Burnham accused Tehran of involvement in an attempted attack on RAF Fairford.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-is=\"component-paragraph\">Other reported incidents have added to the tensions. Hackers linked to Iran allegedly shut down a British power station for four days in August, while British media have reported claims that Tehran sought to bring operatives into the UK through smuggling networks originating in the Middle East.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tehran has escalated its confrontation with London by declaring the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force terrorist organizations&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":663586,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43],"class_list":["post-663585","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663585"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663585\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/663586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
