🇬🇧🇮🇷 Iran has designated Britain's Royal Navy and Royal Air Force as terrorist organizations and classified the country's MI6 intelligence agency as a hostile group.
Iran's Foreign Ministry also accused London of supporting American and Israeli military operations against Iran by providing military equipment, access to British-controlled bases and logistical assistance.
Tehran announced the measures in retaliation for Britain's decision to place the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps under its State Threats Act in July.
Under the announced measures, MI6 will be treated as a hostile organization under Iranian national security legislation, while the Royal Navy and RAF will be classified as terrorist organizations.
Tehran described the decision as a reciprocal response to Britain's actions, accusing London of violating Iranian sovereignty and international law.
The announcement comes as Qatar continues mediating negotiations between Washington and Tehran over Iran's nuclear program, sanctions and navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
With Iran having probably targeted RAF Fairford in the UK recently, Britain will have no choice but to treat the designation with the utmost seriousness.
