Operation Targets Iran's IRGC Unit 700, Sanctioned by UK in 2024
A newspaper report details a Western operation focused on Unit 700, a logistics and smuggling arm of Iran’s Quds Force that Britain sanctioned last year.
A media report has revealed that a Western operation centered on Unit 700, a key logistics and smuggling component of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force. The unit was sanctioned by the United Kingdom in 2024 over activities aimed at destabilizing the UK and other nations.
Unit 700 is described as facilitating covert transport and supply chains for the Quds Force, which handles Iran’s foreign operations. The British sanctions targeted its role in orchestrating disruptive activities abroad.
The report did not specify the nature, timing, or participants of the operation, only that it revolved around neutralising or disrupting Unit 700’s capabilities. The disclosure comes amid ongoing Western efforts to counter Iranian influence operations.
