Keir Starmer urged to ‘torpedo Iran’s terror military’ | Politics | News | EUROtoday

Britain should torpedo Iran’s terror military and ban the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in response to MPs and friends from throughout the celebration spectrum. Bob Blackman, who chairs the highly effective 1922 group of backbench MPs, is main the decision to “get tough on Tehran” and break up Iran’s nuclear programme.

More than 550 MPs and friends are understood to again the decision to proscribe the IRGC, which is taken into account a “primary force” behind Iranian oppression at house and intimidation and violence overseas. The parliamentarians warn that appeasing the regime will betray democratic values.

Mr Blackman mentioned: “It is time to change course on Iran policy. We should align our policy with the major shifts that have occurred in Iran and the region…

“Our ally, the US, rightly designated the IRGC as a terrorist entity several years ago. While the regime has never been weaker, we must set aside all wrong-headed political and diplomatic calculations and proscribe the IRGC as a terrorist entity — an action long overdue.

“In confronting Tehran’s nuclear weapons programme, we cannot afford to sleepwalk. We should activate UN Security Council resolutions and demand the total dismantling of Iran’s nuclear programme before the mullahs acquire the bomb.”

Former Brexit minister David Jones added: “The extent of support for this cross-party initiative shows a growing consensus among UK politicians that the time for a new policy on Iran has arrived. No more procrastination — it only aggravates the problem.”

Among these backing the decision for the IRGC to be banned are former Conservative chief Sir Iain Duncan Smith MP, former Liberal Democrat chief Tim Farron and former Labour chief Lord Kinnock.

In a press release, the opponents of the regime say: “In the 2022 uprising, the people of Iran rejected all forms of dictatorship, whether monarchical or theocratic, and demanded a democratic republic. Appeasing this faltering regime betrays democratic values, emboldens its repressive policies, and undermines global security as Tehran continues its nuclear ambitions and terrorism.”
