UK designates Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as terrorist organisation
Security Minister Angela Eagle said the IMCR claimed seven attacks, and support for the IRGC could bring up to 14 years in prison.
- Britain banned the Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right and the Revolutionary Guard on Monday, following arson and vandalism attacks on Jewish sites. Security Minister Angela Eagle announced the proscription.
- Eagle stated the IMCR claimed seven attacks in Britain. She said, "Sitting behind IMCR were members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qods Force, who almost certainly directed IMCR attacks across Europe."
- Targets of the IMCR's recent arson campaign in London included synagogues, Jewish charity ambulances, and a Persian-language media organization critical of Iran's government. The group claimed responsibility for earlier synagogue attacks in Belgium and the Netherlands.
- Law enforcement officials report Iran-backed proxies increasingly recruit criminal groups to conduct sabotage across Europe. Earlier this month, two Romanian men received prison sentences for stabbing a Persian-language journalist on behalf of the Iranian state.
- The European Union listed the Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization in January, citing Tehran's crackdown on protests. Britain now joins that stance, though there has been no immediate comment from Iran.
