The United Kingdom has designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and another Iran-linked group as terrorist organisations following a series of alleged antisemitic attacks on British soil. The move gives authorities stronger legal powers to disrupt activities, freeze assets and prosecute those linked to the groups. The UK government said the decision is aimed at protecting national security and tackling threats linked to foreign-backed extremism. Iran has rejected similar accusations in the past. The designation marks a significant escalation in tensions between London and Tehran amid growing concerns over Iran-linked activities in Britain. (PC: India Today)
