UK Prohibits Iran’s IRGC Over Threats
The UK has labeled the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. Supporting the group is now illegal. This follows actions against another group linked to attacks on Jewish communities.
The UK government made this decision because of threats from the IRGC. These threats include intimidation within the UK. The government passed laws in April to make supporting the IRGC illegal. This carries a possible life sentence. The UK also banned the Islamic Movement of Companions of the Right, which is linked to attacks.
