UK Government Set to Intensify Pressure on Iran with New Terror Label In a move aimed at escalating pressure on the Iranian government, British ministers are reportedly poised to gain new powers to designate the country's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. The proposed legislation would grant ministers the authority to add the IRGC to a list of proscribed terrorist groups, mirroring the stance taken by the US and several other countries. This development comes as tensions between the UK and Iran remain high, with concerns over human rights abuses, nuclear proliferation, and regional instability continuing to drive diplomatic tensions. The move is likely to be seen as a significant escalation in the UK's efforts to isolate Iran's hardline regime.
The new powers would allow ministers to label Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a terror group.
