E-mailJuly 15 (Reuters) - Iran summoned Britain's ambassador to Tehran on Wednesday after London designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) under the UK's Countering State Threats Act, warning the move would "not go unanswered," the Iranian foreign ministry said in a statement carried by Tasnim news agency.
The move came a day after Britain summoned Iran's Charge d'Affaires Ali Nasimfar in London over what the UK government said was Iran's role in directing proxy groups to carry out attacks across Europe in recent months.
Britain on Monday designated the IRGC and a linked group as a security threat under new powers aimed at preventing foreign states from using proxies for activities such as surveillance and sabotage.
