UK outlaws two Iranian groups over antisemitic attacks

Britain's government on Monday targeted Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and another ​Iran-linked group after a string of ‌antisemitic attacks on British streets, using proscription-like powers designed to tackle state-backed threats.

Axar.az reports, citing Reuters, the power would effectively outlaw support ​for those groups and give police ​and intelligence agencies new powers to tackle ⁠any threats linked to them.

"These new powers ​will make it easier to prosecute and lock ​up anyone carrying out their dirty work here in Britain," Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in a statement.

The ​IRGC, which is already subject to British ​sanctions, has served as an elite military force loyal to ‌the ⁠Islamic Republic's Supreme Leader since being established after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Britain said the second Iran linked-group, the Islamic Movement of Companions of ​the Right, ​had claimed ⁠seven attacks linked to Jewish and Israeli communities, and Persian-language media, ​including the antisemitic arson attack on ​four ⁠Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green on March 23.

The designations need to be ​approved by parliament before the take effect.
