Why won't Cleverly stand up to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : For the first time this will allow ministers to sanction individuals for their activities inside the UK, and not just in Iran.
49% : Officials are worried about possible Iranian retaliatory action, for example, a move to expel the UK ambassador to Tehran.
40% : European nations, including France and Germany, remain more interested in keeping dialogue open with the regime over a deal that would stop Tehran from developing the capacity to produce a nuclear weapon.
39% : It is the most effective way of sending an unequivocal message to Iran that Britain will not tolerate state-sponsored terrorism.
38% : Just as inadequate are Cleverly's reassurances that Britain is leading the way at the United Nations in condemning Iran's behaviour.
37% : The problem it faces is that the IRGC is so critical to the military power structure in Tehran that proscribing it would effectively label the entire regime as terrorist.
27% : Tehran has publicly called for the killing and capture of the people targeted and in some cases detained or harassed their family members in Iran.
