The UK government has designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a national security threat, making it a criminal offense to support the group. The designation follows reports of the IRGC's involvement in death threats, assaults, and intimidation within the UK, encompassing seven attacks on Jewish and Israeli-affiliated locations. Anyone found supporting the IRGC could face up to 14 years in prison, with acts of sabotage potentially leading to life imprisonment.
