The UK Government regularly assesses the impact of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) continued destabilising activity throughout the region.
The UK maintains a range of sanctions that work to constrain the destabilising activity of the IRGC. We also support the enforcement of UN prohibitions on the proliferation of weapons to non-state actors in the region, including to Lebanese Hizballah (UNSCR 1701) and the Houthis in Yemen (UNSCR 2216).
