Members of the Iranian parliament have formally submitted draft legislation aimed at establishing reciprocal actions against the United Kingdom. According to a senior member of the Iranian parliament, the move is a direct response to reports that the British government is preparing to officially classify the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist entity.

While the specific details of the proposed measures remain limited, the legislation is intended to serve as a counter-measure should the UK proceed with the blacklisting. The IRGC, a branch of the Iranian Armed Forces, has been a focal point of international tension, with various Western nations debating its legal status. The Iranian government has consistently opposed such designations, characterizing them as politically motivated interference in its internal security affairs. The submission of this bill signals a formal legislative intent by Tehran to escalate diplomatic and legal friction if the UK moves forward with the designation. As of now, the British government has not issued a formal confirmation regarding the timing or finality of the IRGC blacklisting, leaving the situation in a state of diplomatic anticipation.
