Lithuania: Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 28 October 2024UIN 10498

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has had recent discussions with his Lithuanian counterpart on the decision of that country to proscribe the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

The Foreign Secretary has not raised the proscription of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) with Lithuania's Minister for Foreign Affairs. We do not comment on whether a specific organisation is or is not being considered for proscription. We have sanctioned the IRGC in its entirety and will continue work to identify further ways to counter it at home and abroad.
