  The UK and the European Union are expected to coordinate moves to brand the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a terrorist organisation after the execution of Alireza Akbari, a British-Iranian dual national who was lured back to Iran by the security services three years ago.
  In November, the MI5 director general, Ken McCallum, described the Islamic Republic as a "Mounting concern. Iran projects threats to the UK directly, through its aggressive intelligence services. At its sharpest this includes ambitions to kidnap or even kill British or UK-based individuals perceived as enemies of the regime".
  Responding to the execution, the British prime minister, Rishi Sunak, said: "I am appalled by the execution of British-Iranian citizen Alireza Akbari in Iran. This was a callous and cowardly act, carried out by a barbaric regime with no respect for the human rights of their own people."
