The Logic of Resistance: The Ongoing State Threats Challenge from Iran

This synthesis paper provides an overview of the scale, scope and nature of the challenge posed by Iranian state threats, drawing chiefly on research in the Serious Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Evidence Research Paper: Old Wine, New Bottles? The Challenge of State Threats, published in January 2025. However, it also updates the research where necessary, following developments in the Middle East in late 2024 and the first half of 2025.
