Britain designates the Revolutionary Guard as a threat to national security

Britain announced the banning of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as part of the list of threats to national security, and condemned London's decision to classify it as a threat under British law. Iran confirmed that the Strait of Hormuz lies within Iran and Oman's internal and territorial waters, and that its management is solely under their control. Iran also warned that any attacks on the country would lead to a "more crushing" response. These developments come amid escalating tensions between Iran and the United Kingdom, with increasing statements and military movements in the region.
