Despite the ongoing war, Iran’s regime intends to survive, and its new leadership is as odious and hardline as ever.

Our new paper analyses the 2026 conflict, profiles the new IRGC chief, exposes IRGC‑QF’s global terror role, and calls for an immediate ban on the Quds Force.

Netanyahu’s comments are offensive, irresponsible and wrong.

We stand with Israel’s progressive opposition in rejecting his divisive, anti-Muslim rhetoric and working for cooperation, peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

Netanyahu on Britain:

You might call Britain the "Islamic Republic of Britain."

Someone said that the first Islamic republic with nuclear weapons will be the Islamic Republic of Britain.

We’re making sure there won’t be another one—you know, in Iran.

NEW: In the @JewishChron, LFI’s Matt Godwin welcomes Labour’s historic proscription of the IRGC, but argues that more is needed to counter Tehran’s threat in Britain.

That means exposing its links to charities and NGOs, sanctioning regime media, elites and proxies, and taking tougher action against extremist groups and hate preachers.

It is shocking that the headteachers of some Jewish schools are having to spend more time on security arrangements than teaching their pupils. Together with Jewish pupils being subject to regular abuse and harassment, this is a devastating reflection of the surge in antisemitism in Britain since 7 October.

Every Jewish child in Britain has the right to learn in safety.

The 82 percent rise in antisemitic assaults is appalling. CST recorded 1,926 antisemitic incidents in the first six months of 2026, an average of more than 10 every day.

Extreme anti-Zionism lies at the heart of contemporary antisemitism. We cannot tackle this crisis without recognising it, and taking decisive action to protect Britain’s Jewish community.

🚨NEW: LFI’s new report argues that Britain must continue to take considered and calibrated steps to address the challenges of Israeli settlement expansion and violent extremist settlers and organisations.

Not steps that are counterproductive and risk unintended adverse ethical, economic and political knock-on effects. (1/7)

Britain can play a leading role in getting the two-state solution back on track. But it will require a strong dose of pragmatism and fresh thinking.

No better time than now.
