00:00Well, Iran and Russia cannot be allowed to use different proxy organisations to threaten security and safety on Britain's streets.

00:10That is completely wrong and that's why we've taken this action.

00:14I have felt very strongly about this, particularly around the IRGC-backed threats for a long time
