We will continue to consider all tools at our disposal to protect the UK and our interests from Iran-linked threats.More than 400 Iranian individuals and entities, including the IRGC in its entirety are sanctioned.We keep the list of proscribed organisations under constant review and continue to work at pace to identify further ways to tackle Iranian state threats.The National Security Act 2023 provides another significant toolkit in the fight against individuals working for state entities like the IRGC. The UK is now a harder target for those states which seek to conduct hostile acts against the UK, including espionage, interference in our political system, sabotage, and assassination.The Government continually assesses potential threats to the UK, and takes the protection of individuals’ rights, freedoms, and safety incredibly seriously – wherever those threats may originate.
