Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, Coming Soon to a University Near You?

If your son or daughter told you that a terrorist organization just gave a lecture at their college, would you believe them? Far from a hypothetical scenario, this question confronted parents of students at British universities after a recent expośe revealed that eight Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) leaders spoke at multiple U.K. campuses since 2020 in talks arranged by an Islamic student association.

According to the Jewish Chronicle, IRGC leaders spread antisemitic propaganda, which we have come to expect from the Iranian government. They said that the Holocaust was fake, that Jews “created homosexuality,” and that the “era of the Jews” would soon end. Speakers also urged audiences “to join ‘the beautiful list of soldiers’ who would fight and kill Jews in a coming apocalyptic war.”
