Rules of Engagement
Somewhat surprised that Zaf & Adam were sent to Iran to initiate a bomb plot. Surely that sort of mission would be the sole perogotive of SIS. I thought that MI5 were limited to operate in the UK only.
I know this is a fictional program but does anybody know what the real-life rules are that govern MI5 operations?

RE: Rules of Engagement
I'm not sure it is as clear cut as anything overseas is beyond MI5's remit. The role of MI5 stated here https://www.mi5.gov.uk/output/what-we-do.html, seems to be quite general.
