Asked about Iran's capability to launch complex attacks using explosive drones, McCallum said Iran was limited by the sophistication of criminals and proxies it used for UK operations. However, he acknowledged the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had deeper experience with conventional and hybrid technology in countries closer to Iran.
“Given what we've actually seen in practice in the UK in recent years, that has not been anywhere near (that) level of capability.”
