The UK government has officially designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation under new national security powers, with supporters facing up to 14 years in prison. This move reflects the accelerating isolation of Iran on the world stage — a nation whose hostility toward Israel and destabilising influence across the Middle East aligns with biblical warnings of end-times conflict centred on that region. The prophet Ezekiel identified Persia (modern-day Iran) as a key aggressor in the coalition that will one day march against Israel, making Iran's growing pariah status among Western nations a significant geopolitical signal.
