Britain said it had adopted a new sanctions regime against Iran on Thursday as it announced measures against seven individuals, including the head of Tehran's Quds Force, for threatening or planning the destabilization of Israel. The British government said the new regime, which it said gave it greater powers to act against Iran and its decisionmakers, had been brought in response to "unprecedented threats" from Tehran to peace in the Middle East and to plots to kill individuals in Britain.
The United Kingdom has introduced a raft of new sanctions targeting Iran's decision-makers and those doing its bidding, including Hamas and other Palestinian militants. According to the statement posted on UK Government website on Thursday, the travel bans and asset freezes coordinated with Washington are aimed at disrupting what London calls Tehran's "hostile activities in the UK and around the world". They target the leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and individuals linked to Iran's allies Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
