Britain finally caught up to what Iranian dissidents knew all along
Washington Examiner, July 14, 2026, by Nasser Razii
On Monday, the United Kingdom took one of the most consequential steps in its policy toward the Iranian regime by designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. The decision criminalizes membership in, support for, or public promotion of the Guard in Britain and reflects a fundamental reassessment of the threat posed by the regime’s most powerful institution.
For many observers, the announcement appeared to be a dramatic policy shift. In reality, it was the culmination of years of parliamentary debate, growing security concerns, and mounting evidence of the Guard’s activities, as well as sustained advocacy by British lawmakers, security experts, Iranian human rights campaigners, and the organized Iranian Resistance led by the National Council of Resistance of Iran and its president-elect, Maryam Rajavi…
Long before many Western governments reached this conclusion, the Resistance Council had consistently argued that the Guard should be treated as a terrorist organization rather than as a conventional military force.
For more than a decade, Rajavi repeatedly called on democratic governments to proscribe the Guard, arguing that doing so was essential not only for international security but also for supporting the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom. Those calls became an integral part of the Council’s international advocacy and were consistently raised in meetings with parliamentarians, policymakers, and legal experts.

The Ten-Point Plan for Iran’s Future was first presented by Maryam Rajavi, the President-Elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), in December 2006 at a session of the Council of Europe.
