Iran says UK's designation of IRGC as security threat is 'unjustified'

Iran condemned the UK's designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a security threat, calling it 'unjustified' and 'irresponsible.' Iran's foreign ministry stated the IRGC is an official part of Iran's armed forces and accused the UK of violating international law by targeting a state institution. Britain banned support for the IRGC under new powers aimed at preventing foreign states from using proxies for surveillance and sabotage.
