UK government accuses Iran of spurring antisemitic attacks and designates IRGC as terrorist group

Britain has formally linked Iran to a recent surge in antisemitic incidents. The UK government has labeled the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. The move expands national security powers under a newly enacted law. Officials say the designation targets foreign threats to public safety. The decision follows investigations into hate‑crime spikes. Critics question the evidence tying Iran directly to the attacks. The designation allows broader surveillance and enforcement actions. The UK signals a tougher stance on perceived Iranian interference.
