Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Asked by: Rachel Blake (Labour (Co-op) - Cities of London and Westminster) Wednesday 14th October 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to tackle threats and actions by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in the UK against the national interest; and what assessment she has made of the potential impact of IRGC-related activities on the level of safety and security of Iranian diaspora communities in Cities of London and Westminster constituency. Answered by Dan Jarvis - Minister of State (Home Office) (Security) (Jointly with the Cabinet Office) We are acting decisively to disrupt threats posed by Iran here in the UK. The Government has introduced a comprehensive set of measures aimed at countering Iranian threats, including sanctioning the IRGC in its entirety and more than 550 Iranian individuals and entities. We have also placed Iran, including the IRGC, on the enhanced tier of the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme. The IRGC was designated as a security threat under the National Security (State Threats) Act 2026, equipping the police and security and intelligence agencies with more powers to disrupt and prosecute those supporting them or working on their behalf. In addition, new training for front police officers and staff has been rolled out to increase their understanding of foreign state threats, which will improve law enforcement’s ability to detect and investigate incidents which may be state directed. The Home Office works closely with other government departments as well as relevant agencies and law enforcement to protect those identified as being at risk. The National Protective Security Authority and Counter Terrorism Policing continue to provide protective security advice and support to individuals and organisations threatened by the Iranian regime and its criminal proxies. The Government does not routinely comment on the detail of operational matters or specific threats. We have long said that the state threats posed by Iran are persistent and unacceptable. Any attempt by a foreign state to intimidate, harass or harm individuals in the UK, including Iranian diaspora communities will be thoroughly investigated. We take these threats incredibly seriously, and our first priority is protecting British interests and lives. Anyone who thinks they might be a victim should report incidents or suspicious activity to the Police via 101, a local police station, or 999 in emergencies.
