The UK government has formally designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, Israel Hayom reported Monday afternoon. The decision places the IRGC on the UK's list of proscribed groups, triggering legal measures such as asset freezes and travel bans.
The announcement follows a statement by security analyst Yair Goldblatt, who earlier said the designation was overdue, as The Zioneer reported. The UK's move adds to growing international pressure on the IRGC.
