UK officials have maintained a long-standing policy against applying standard terrorism proscription rules to state entities like the IRGC, instead pursuing separate state-threats legislation first proposed in 2025. The EU's January 2026 designation prompted renewed parliamentary pressure and cross-party letters, yet the government has described any new powers as still in development and not fast-tracked, with Prime Minister Starmer indicating related bills would arrive in July. No parliamentary timetable, ministerial statement, or diplomatic trigger points to action before the June 30 deadline. Traders therefore see near-certain continuity in the current approach, though an unforeseen security incident or accelerated legislative maneuver within the narrow remaining window could still shift the outcome.
