UK publishes legislation for tougher sanctions on Iran over nuclear program

The British government has announced the publication of new legislation aimed at tightening sanctions against the Islamic Republic in connection with its nuclear program. Under these measures, Iran's access to the British financial system will be further restricted, and trade bans will be expanded to include a wider range of goods, technologies, and services. This move comes as international pressure on Tehran to halt its nuclear activities continues to mount. Meanwhile, human rights groups and protesters gathered outside Downing Street in London, calling on Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government to increase support for the Iranian people and to proscribe the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization.
