This move came after the UK previously only designated non-state groups but expanded its legislation to include state-linked groups like the IRGC. The UK cited intelligence linking the IRGC and its quds Force to threats and attacks on its soil, including recent assaults claimed by a new proxy group, the Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right (IMCR). The IMCR, believed to be a front for the IRGC to deny direct involvement, emerged in 2024 amid heightened tensions with Iran, which has previously been designated a terrorist entity by the US, Canada, and Australia.The UK\u2019s decision marks a critically important step in its efforts to combat Iran-related terrorist activities within its borders.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/united-kingdom\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"547\">United Kingdom<\/a> designated the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4617280\/iran-leadership-war-battered-transformed\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"4617280\">Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/a> a terrorist group on Monday after it accused the proxy group of being behind a string of attacks on Jewish centers on behalf of Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.K. had been an outlier in the Western world after the European Union designated the group a terrorist organization following Tehran\u2019s massacre of protesters in January, but finally joined after accusing a new terrorist group \u2014 Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right, also known as Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya \u2014 of carrying out arson, vandalism, and stabbing attacks against Jewish centers.
