Single source · Tehran, Iran · 2026-11-01 00:00 UTC

Iran's Foreign Ministry says it has designated MI6 a hostile group and the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force terrorist organisations, in retaliation for British measures including the London designation of the IRGC under the State Threats Act 2026, with effect from 1 November 2026. Tasnim, IRNA, Mehr and Kurdistan24 relay the ministry statement, and one Telegram post says Iran's Supreme National Security Council approved the measures.
