London, UK – In a new escalation against Iran, the British government announced a series of sanctions against the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and several senior officials in Tehran. These sanctions, described as a clear message to halt activities that London considers a threat to regional and international security, include asset freezes and travel bans targeting senior officials involved in military and commercial activities of international concern, according to an official statement from the British Foreign Office.
This move follows intelligence reports indicating an increase in the IRGC’s activities in the region. These reports also include support for armed groups in the Middle East and the strengthening of its ballistic missile capabilities. These actions have prompted the UK to act within the framework of the international coalition to pressure Tehran to comply with international standards.
