“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.Britain said it had identified activity linked to the IRGC involving threats to life and intimidation on British soil, and that the group used proxy actors to advance Iranian state objectives overseas.The government said the IRGC had “almost certainly” directed another group, The Islamic Movement of Companions of the Right, which Britain said had claimed seven attacks at locations in Britain linked to Jewish and Israeli communities, and Persian-language media.
