Hamid Baidinejad, the terrorist regime\u2019s ambassador in London, called this report \u201cbiased\u201d and based on the reports of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/primer-the-history-the-peoples-mojahedin-organization-iran\" rel=\"noopener\">PMOI\/MEK<\/a>), calling the latter a terrorist movement. Perhaps Baidinejad had forgotten that recently his fellow diplomat-terrorist, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/iranian-diplomat-and-three-accomplices-on-trial-for-planned-bombing-of-a-massive-rally-in-paris\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Assadollah Assadi<\/a>, went on trial in Belgium for attempting to bomb the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/free-iran-gathering-paris-2018\/\" rel=\"noopener\">opposition rally<\/a> in 2018 in Paris.<\/p>\n<h3>So why has the regime shown such a reaction to this report?<\/h3>\n<p>This Foreign Affairs Committee\u2019s report, and its recommendation that the UK government proscribe the Revolutionary Guards (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc\/\" rel=\"noopener\">IRGC<\/a>) will have a significant consequences for the regime. If the UK government proscribes the IRGC as a terrorist entity, after it was designated as such by the United States in 2019, it would make the IRGC a leprous phenomenon. The IRGC controls Iran&#8217;s economy and acts as the regime&#8217;s elite force of oppression and export of terrorism. Thus, it will be a significant blow to the regime.<\/p>\n<p>Also, this action will be the basis for listing the Revolutionary Guards by other European countries. Proscribing the IRGC would further marginalize the policy of appeasement.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Above all, this is a political blow to the regime at a very critical time.
