Iran summoned the UK ambassador to Tehran on Wednesday after the UK designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a security threat under the UK’s Countering State Threats Act.
Background
The move came a day after the UK summoned Iran’s Charge d’Affaires in London over Iran’s role in directing proxy groups to carry out attacks across Europe in recent months.
The UK had designated the IRGC and a linked group as a security threat under new powers aimed at preventing foreign states from using proxies for activities such as surveillance and sabotage.
