Accused of plotting assassinations and kidnappings on British soil, the organization is seen as a direct threat to national security. Ken McCallum, the Director-General of MI5, has placed Iran alongside Russia and China as a top security threat. Proponents of proscribing the IRGC as a terrorist organization argue it would disrupt their operations and deter potential collaborators. However, the UK government hesitates due to the need to maintain diplomatic channels with Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a style=\"text-decoration-line: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/terrorism\/irans-shadow-growing-influence-sparks-concerns-in-the-uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran\u2019s \u2018Noor Project\u2019: Can Coercive Measures Stifle Freedom\u2019s Flame?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-318649 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Iran-anti-riot-police.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Iran-anti-riot-police.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Iran-anti-riot-police-150x94.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Iranian regime\u2019s morality patrol has once again expanded under the title of the \u2018Noor (Light) Project\u2019.
