What happened
The U.K. government said Monday it will ban the Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right
Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiaterror group, 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.
