The UK's intelligence community has accused Russia of engaging in a 'staggeringly reckless' sabotage campaign across Europe, targeting Europe's defense industrial base (DIB) as part of a broader hybrid war strategy. Jonathan Allen, the UK's most senior official responsible for Russia policy, has stated that he believes Vladimir Putin personally authorized the 2018 Salisbury poisonings, marking a direct accusation against the Russian president. Additionally, the UK's foreign intelligence chief has highlighted Iran's nuclear ambitions as a significant long-term threat, suggesting that while Russia's actions are immediate and reckless, Iran's pose a different kind of danger.
