FCDO designates two Iranian nationals under the Iran (Sanctions) Regulations 2023 for facilitating or engaging in hostile activities on behalf of the Iranian regime

The individuals include an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps counterespionage official and a facilitator of the Zindashti criminal network, which authorities have linked to plots against Iranian dissidents. Both face immediate asset freezes, travel bans and director disqualification measures as the UK seeks to counter state-backed threats and transnational criminal networks.
