Back to News

The UK sanctioned 5 members of the Board of Directors of the IRGC Co-operative Foundation. This organisation funnels money into the Iranian regime's repression.

  • UK sanctions financiers within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and senior commanders
  • those sanctioned include 5 members on the Board of Directors of the IRGC Co-operative Foundation, the body responsible for managing the IRGC’s investments
  • Two senior IRGC commanders operating in Tehran and Alborz provinces also sanctioned for gross human rights violations

The UK has imposed sanctions on senior officials of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, it announced today.

The IRGC, the branch of the Iranian Armed Forces responsible for the internal and external security of Iran, has been at the forefront of the repression of protest in Iran which has seen more than 500 killed and tens of thousands imprisoned.

The UK has sanctions in place on the IRGC in its entirety. Since October, the UK has imposed new sanctions on more than a dozen senior IRGC officials under our Iran human rights regime.
