Exclusive: Jerusalem urges Britain to ban IRGC amid terror warnings

Kasra Aarabi, the director of IRGC research at United Against Nuclear Iran, warned that war and the regime’s current leadership have accelerated the regime’s plan to “fully militarise the Islamist theocracy”. “But while the regime has been significantly weakened [by US and Israeli operations], it remains extremely dangerous and constitutes a major threat, not least to Britain’s national security.” Aarabi believes the IRGC will “increasingly turn to its asymmetric capabilities to target the West, especially Europe. The Labour government appears to be asleep at the wheel in the face of this escalating threat. “Proscribing the IRGC would impose maximum constraints on its ability to operate in the UK – not least by addressing its homegrown radicalisation activities, which are not currently covered by the UK’s sanctions regime.”
