Iranian Parliament Drafts Reciprocal Bill Against UK Blacklisting of IRGC

Iranian lawmaker Hossein Ali Hajideligani announced that a draft bill titled “The Law on Reciprocal Action against the Designation of the IRGC as a Terrorist Organization by the British Government” has been submitted to the Parliament’s presiding board. The proposed legislation consists of 11 articles and has been prepared in response to London's decision to place the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on its so-called terrorist list.

Hajideligani stated that the bill would be immediately pursued if the British government makes such a “miscalculated” move. He warned that if the British government takes such an action, “it will not see peace in the region.” The bill has been uploaded to the Parliament’s system and will enter the legislative process if necessary.

Earlier, Iran’s Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the British decision to designate the IRGC as a “terrorist organization,” describing the move as politically motivated and contrary to international law. The ministry stressed that the IRGC is an integral part of Iran’s official Armed Forces and works alongside the Army to defend the country’s independence, territorial integrity, and national security.

According to Mehr News, the draft bill represents a formal legislative response to the UK's designation, which Iran views as a hostile act. The IRGC is a key military and political force in Iran, and its designation by the UK has escalated tensions between the two countries.
