Iran has condemned the UK government's plan to ban support for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to a report on the Insider Paper.

Iran has condemned a UK plan to outlaw support for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as reported by the Insider Paper. The condemnation follows the UK Home Secretary's announcement earlier on Tuesday that the government will use new legal powers to criminalize any support for the IRGC, including expressing positive opinions, cooperation, or providing assistance, with a potential penalty of up to 14 years in prison. The UK government has previously designated the IRGC as a terrorist organization, as The Zioneer reported on July 13. The IRGC has not yet issued an official statement on the UK's latest move. The specific details of Iran's condemnation — whether via a government statement or IRGC-affiliated channels — remain unconfirmed, as only a single report has surfaced.
