Iran is plotting with the Taliban to exploit a lost database that exposed details of MI6 spies and UK Special Forces, it was claimed last night.

Leaders of Iran's Revolutionary Guards are said to have asked Afghanistan's warlords for 'access' to the bombshell list at the centre of a two-year super-injunction drama in the UK.

The spectre of Iran's extremists and the brutal Taliban regime co-ordinating efforts to hunt down British agents is causing 'concern' in Whitehall, it is understood.

The UK lost a vital database of Afghans and UK officials putting 100,000 people 'at risk of death'.

When the Daily Mail discovered this data breach disaster in 2023, the Government secured a draconian court order to hush it up, triggering a 23-month battle in secret courts for open justice.
