Iran criticizes London's 'irresponsible' move of declaring the Revolutionary Guard as a threat

The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned the UK's decision to label the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a threat to its security, prohibiting support for the organization. The ministry called the move 'hostile' and 'unjustified,' arguing it violates international law principles such as sovereignty and non-interference. Iran emphasized the IRGC's role in defending national territory and combating terrorism, particularly against ISIS. The statement accused the UK of hypocrisy, citing its historical colonial interventions and complicity in recent US-Israeli attacks on Iran. It warned of potential retaliatory measures by Iran and criticized the UK for harboring terrorist groups while imposing sanctions. The UK proposed adding the IRGC to a list of entities under new powers under its National Security Act.
