SUMMARY
1. UK Policy on the IRGC
-
The UK announced, then rapidly reversed, plans to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization.

-
Ground operations are described as necessary to neutralize deeply buried nuclear facilities.
-
US forces positioned in the region; Azerbaijan cautious but defensive.
-
Airpower alone deemed insufficient against hardened targets.
3. Iran’s Nuclear Infrastructure
-
Key facilities are buried over 100 meters underground and reinforced with advanced concrete.
-
Sites reportedly hold significant quantities of highly enriched uranium.
-
Conventional bunker-busters unlikely to succeed without ground intervention.
4. IRGC Proxies
-
IRGC-linked militias in Iraq and Afghanistan mobilizing.
-
Groups assessed as incapable of defeating US forces but able to disrupt and threaten destabilization.
-
Reinforces view of the IRGC as a regional, not just domestic, threat.
5. International Reactions
-
EU officially designates the IRGC as a terrorist organization; framed as overdue.
-
China evacuates personnel and assets from Iran, signaling concern for regime stability.

Acknowledgment that some civilian harm may be unavoidable.
7. US Domestic Actions

EU expected to follow suit.
8. Iranian Protest Movement

Accounts of protesters killed and funerals turning into acts of defiance.
-
Families publicly frame deaths as sacrifices for Iran.

Rooftop and nighttime protests continue despite repression.
9. Rejection of the MEK
-
MEK described as violent, cult-like, and broadly despised inside Iran.

Firmly dismissed as a legitimate post-regime alternative.
Conclusions
Tousi presents the moment as decisive: Iran’s regime is under pressure, Western resolve is uneven, and delay—especially by the UK—risks squandering a rare opportunity. Tousi calls for firm action against the IRGC, alignment with Iranian civil resistance, and rejection of discredited exile groups in favor of a credible national alternative.
