Iran Designates UK Royal Navy and Air Force as Terrorist Organizations in Retaliation

Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on November 1, 2026, that the UK's Royal Navy and Royal Air Force are designated as terrorist organizations. This action is a reciprocal measure in response to the British government's hostile actions, including its decision on July 13, 2026, to place the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) under the State Threats Act 2026.
