This creates a security loophole. Security Minister Dan Jarvis confirmed in February 2026 that the Government is developing a \"proscription-like tool\". We request this be fast-tracked into law to provide the full investigative and criminal powers needed to ban the IRGC's activities in the UK. Sanctions are not enough; we need a legislative update to protect our national security from state-led terror.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":9,"created_at":"2026-02-18T15:27:36.910Z","updated_at":"2026-03-25T11:04:41.425Z","rejected_at":"2026-03-25T11:04:41.427Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-02-20T21:38:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition, which calls for similar action: \"Amend the Terrorism Act 2000 to allow proscription of state-backed entities\" https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/759228"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
