UK says Iran-backed group is behind antisemitic attacks, bans the Revolutionary Guard

Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The U.K. government said Monday it will ban the Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right, or IMCR, and designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a national security threat under new powers. Officials said the Iran-backed IMCR claimed responsibility for seven antisemitic arson and vandalism attacks in Britain. The attacks included a March fire that burned four ambulances at a London Jewish volunteer organization; the IRGC designation would make support for the force illegal if approved by Parliament later this week.
