A spokesman for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said that if Britain aligns with the United States, it will become a legitimate target for Iran, according to a report. The threat was issued late Sunday and follows a series of IRGC warnings amid heightened regional tensions.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a direct threat to the United Kingdom late Sunday, warning that if Britain aligns with the United States, it will become a 'legitimate target' for Iran. The statement, delivered by an IRGC spokesman, was reported by Israeli journalist Yishai Bar Yosef.
The IRGC has previously threatened the UK. On July 24, 2026, The Zioneer reported that the UK said its forces were ready to defend the country after the IRGC threatened to strike bases used by the US, including Fairford in southwest England. Earlier, on July 14, the UK designated the IRGC as a threat to national security, making support for the organization a criminal offense.
The latest threat comes amid a series of IRGC warnings against the US and its allies. The IRGC has repeatedly stated that any attack on Iran would trigger a wider confrontation, and has threatened American bases in the region. No specific timeline or targets were detailed in the latest statement.
