  "textContent": "\n\n\nWill the war in Iran lead to a migrant wave into Britain? Well, in short, I think it probably will. Should we accept them, however? No, but there is some important nuance here.\n\nThe risk of IRGC Islamist terrorist ending and entering into this country is just far too high. But the Government doesn't seem to be able to tell us what they're going to do.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt doesn't really fill you full of confidence, does it? But there is a bigger picture here and this is why I support the war in Iran.\n\nThe collapse of this Islamist regime could be the single greatest act to restore security to our borders and to our general national security.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nWhy are Iranians coming here in the first place? Let's get to the first group. They are fleeing a brutal theocratic dictatorship, a regime accused of killing tens of thousands of protesters, slaughtering thousands of gay people and stoning women for disobeying its laws.\n\nMany of those Iranians despise the regime. Many simply want a free country to go home to.\n\nWhat a difference that young lad makes compared to some other groups coming here.\n\nThe second group I want to talk about is the regime's terrorist agents.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nNow, Iran has formally rejected allegations of terror related or espionage activities in the UK.\n\nBut the reality is this once would be Iranian terrorists are here. It becomes impossible to deport them.\n\nYou all know why - I don't have to get into that, do I? Meanwhile, the Islamic regime funds and arms terrorist organisations like Hamas and Hezbollah, who also operate here in the UK.\n\nThis is why I say obliterating this regime is the single most effective way we can stop the so-called invasion of Britain and end Islamist sponsored terrorism.\n\n### LATEST ON THE IRAN WAR:\n\n\n\n\n  * Rebels launch ground offensive in Iran after US 'hatches plan for covert uprising'\n  * WATCH: US submarine torpedoes Iranian warship in 'quiet death' strike as dozens left stranded at sea\n  * US bombers set to strike Iran from RAF bases in UK after Donald Trump rebukes Keir Starmer\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nCut the head off of the snake. A free Iran means people can return home.\n\nIt means deportations become legally viable. Not 10 years in the future. Now.\n\nIt means terrorists will lose their support and their funding. It decimates the world's most aggressive exporter of Islamist extremism.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nSo if you want to end the small boats, if you want fewer national security threats, if you want long term stability, then fighting this war matters.\n\nWe should fight Islamist extremism wherever it rears its ugly head.\n\nThe other choice is to simply do nothing and let things stay as they are today. And I don't accept that.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards:The GB News Editorial Charter**",
