UK proscribes IRGC as terror organization
The UK government has proscribed Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization under the new National Security Act.
Assessment
Britain’s formal designation of the IRGC as a proscribed terrorist group under its new National Security Act marks a significant escalation in UK policy toward Iran’s most powerful military and economic actor. Observers should watch for whether this move triggers reciprocal Iranian measures against British interests or assets, and how it aligns with parallel steps by other Western governments. The immediate practical effect will extend the UK’s legal tools for sanctioning and prosecuting individuals linked to the IRGC.
