Mrs. Rajavi Welcomes the UK Government’s Proscription of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), welcomed the UK government’s decision, however long overdue, to proscribe the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), describing it as essential for regional and global peace, stability, and security.

From the very outset, the Iranian Resistance has declared the IRGC as the principal organ of coercion and repression of the religious fascism ruling Iran.

Mrs. Rajavi also expressed her appreciation for more than four decades of perseverance and efforts by members of the British Houses of Commons and Lords, particularly the members of the British Committee for Iran Freedom, in advocating the proscription of the IRGC and exposing its actions against the people of Iran.

For years, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) have stressed the necessity of designating the IRGC as a terrorist organization and have repeatedly warned that appeasing this regime would only lead to the expansion of terrorism, warmongering, and intensified human rights violations.

The time has come to translate this designation into concrete action and, without any political or economic considerations, treat the IRGC and the clerical regime as terrorist entities.  Recognizing the right of the Iranian people and the Iranian Resistance to confront the IRGC is one of the practical imperatives of the IRGC’s proscription. The international community must stand alongside the people of Iran and support their determination to dismantle the IRGC and establish freedom and democracy.
