Where it stands
The UK has proscribed Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and one other Iranian group. This decision comes after the UK identified an Iran-backed group as being behind attacks targeting the Jewish community.
Coverage from the BBC, Reuters, The Guardian, The Telegraph, and NBC News emphasizes that the IRGC is being listed as a terrorist organization. The move is associated with Prime Minister Starmer's government.
Future developments will likely focus on the enforcement of these bans and the impact of listing the IRGC as a terrorist organization.
