PM Rishi Sunak urged to class Iran's Revolutionary Guard as terrorist organization after attack on Israel

Mounting calls for classification

Pressure is mounting on PM Rishi Sunak to categorize Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization following a massive attack on Israel over the weekend. Figures from various political backgrounds have urged Sunak to take this step after Tehran's assault using 300 missiles and drones.

Demands for UK action

Ex-Home Secretary Suella Braverman, former Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith, and the Labour Party have all called for the UK to follow America's lead in banning the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is responsible for Iran's ballistic missiles.

Concerns over escalating conflict

Israel has vowed to strike back at Iran, which in turn has threatened a significant retaliation if attacked. With fears of World War Three looming, the potential involvement of Hezbollah and the challenges facing Israel's defense systems add to the complexity of the situation.

Pleas for restraint

As tensions rise, pleas for restraint from Western nations, including the US and the UK, have been made to prevent further escalation. Despite differing opinions on how to respond, the focus remains on avoiding a broader conflict.
