The Telegraph exclusively reported that, according to its sources, the Taliban provided the IRGC with a “modified” list. In return, the IRGC allegedly promised to petition the Iranian government to recognise the Taliban as Afghanistan’s legitimate rulers.

Iran supposedly wanted the list to expedite the capture of suspected British spies to use as leverage over the UK government ahead of discussions with Western powers over Iran’s nuclear program, with potential operatives reportedly captured by Iranian border forces in recent days.

The data breach occurred in February 2022 when a British military official accidentally leaked the entire spreadsheet of names online, exposing the personal details of thousands of Afghan asylum applicants under the ARAP scheme and more than 100 British officials, including MI6 spies and SAS soldiers.

As revealed by disclosed High Court documents, British judges ruled in a closed-door hearing last year that the leak had possibly jeopardized the livelihoods of up to 100,000 people, including ARAP applicants and their families, which the judges concluded were at risk of torture and death.

The British government imposed a super-injunction in September 2023 to prevent media coverage of the breach, which ended last Friday. In light of the breach, the UK plans to spend between £5.5 billion and £6 billion ($7.4 billion and $8.1 billion) on Afghan relocation programs.
