UK bans support for Iran’s IRGC and a linked group over antisemitic attacks in Britain

Britain has banned support for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and a linked group. This decision, made on Monday, utilizes new government powers aimed at preventing the use of state-sponsored proxies. The ban follows a series of antisemitic attacks in Britain, including the torching of four Jewish community ambulances in London. The British government and intelligence agencies have expressed growing concern over foreign powers employing organized crime groups or low-level criminals for activities such as surveillance and sabotage on their behalf.
