West failing to take Iran threat seriously out of sheer arrogance, says woman who infiltrated regimeThe West is failing to take the Iran threat seriously out of “sheer arrogance”, a woman who infiltrated the Tehran regime has warned.Catherine Perez-Shakdam, a Jewish mother of two who grew up in Paris, concealed her true identity and spent almost a decade posing as an Iran sympathiser, gaining unprecedented access to the heart of the Middle Eastern state and its ruling class.Her operation culminated in several visits to Tehran at the invitation of the ayatollahs and a rare private audience with Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei.Speaking to the Sunday Telegraph at a hotel in central London, she said her experience led her to realise that Iran’s infiltration into the West is far deeper than people believe, despite how open the regime is about their ultimate aim to destroy it.“There is a network that exists here in the UK, as far as the regime is concerned,” Ms Perez-Shakdam, a journalist, political commentator and Middle East expert, explained, with high ranking members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) constantly going “back and forth” to Iran, under the guise of working for a web of British charities, think-tanks and education centres.“All these people are part of an ecosystem that literally directly reports back to Iran and takes orders from Iran.”She added: “This is to direct and gauge the impact of the campaigns that they’re running, tweak the narrative when they need to, change people around, and make new connections. They basically keep tabs on what is going on in the UK and hope to create a very powerful lobby here, which I believe they have done.“This is dangerous because they want to subvert our democracy and hijack our institutions.“You’ve seen the way that they’ve hijacked Lebanon, for example, in Syria, Yemen and Iraq. They want to do this everywhere, and we need to understand those countries as being proof of concept that it works.”But she said down to the “sheer arrogance” of the West, the threat is not taken seriously.
