Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 January 2026

Debate

Iran

Contribution

I agree with the noble Lord’s description, of course. The IRGC has been sanctioned, but we are being encouraged to go further with proscription. As I have explained, we asked Jonathan Hall to look at this, and he has recommended that we take certain measures that we may need to legislate for. We are looking closely at it. Obviously we do not announce these sorts of decisions ahead of time, because that potentially diminishes their impact. What I have said today nudges things along in the direction that the noble Lord wishes us to go in, but I am unable to make further commitments today and I think he will understand why.
