UK designates Iran's Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, citing attacks on British Jews

Guardian—The United Kingdom announced it will designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, making it illegal under British law to support the group. The government cited an Iran-backed group's role in attacks targeting Britain's Jewish community as part of its justification for the ban. The designation aligns Britain more closely with US and EU positions on the IRGC. British nationals who express support for the IRGC now face potential criminal prosecution under terrorism statutes.
