Two-minute read<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Iranian regime\u2019s Majlis (parliament) erupted in a furious denunciation on May 20, 2025, responding to a significant initiative by over 550 British parliamentarians. The UK lawmakers had called for the terrorist designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and voiced support for the Iranian people’s quest for democratic change, including Maryam Rajavi’s 10-point plan. The Majlis’s vitriolic reaction, laden with threats and accusations, starkly reveals Tehran’s profound agitation over the growing international backing for the Iranian Resistance.<\/p>\n

In a statement<\/a> read during a Majlis session, members “strongly condemned” what they termed the “ill-advised and malicious action” by the British MPs. The regime\u2019s parliamentarians did not attempt to address the substantive concerns raised by UK lawmakers regarding the IRGC’s extensive record of terrorism and human rights abuses. Instead, they resorted to familiar tactics, claiming the UK initiative “was openly carried out under the instigation of the terrorist and hated [PMOI].” This direct attribution to the PMOI, whom the regime refers to with the derogatory term “monafeqin” (hypocrites), underscores the Resistance’s pivotal role in galvanizing international opinion.<\/p>\n

The Majlis statement escalated to direct threats, warning, “the potential decision by the British government to name the IRGC as terrorist… will be met with the legal and reciprocal reaction of the Islamic Republic of Iran.” It further specified, “based on Article 7 of the Counter-Action Law passed by the Majlis, if such a decision is implemented, British military forces and their bases in the West Asia region and the Persian Gulf will be placed on the list of aggressor entities, and appropriate actions will be taken.” The session was punctuated by chants of “Death to England” from the assembled deputies.<\/p>\n
