The UK will list Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation, ministers have announced, in a major escalation of the diplomatic tensions with Tehran.
The Home Office said on Monday it would ban support for the IRGC, a central branch of the Iranian military, after years of political division over the issue.
The move is equivalent to proscription, though not legally identical.
