A commentator noted that the Commissioner would likely view banning the IRGC as a political decision rather than a policing one. Listeners suggested the Prime Minister should ban the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and associated organizations to address the problem. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley accused Zak Polanski of amplifying inaccurate and misinformed commentary. Rowley stated that such actions are contributing to rising tensions in society. Polanski responded that he was informed of the story only five minutes before a previous appearance and described the situation as inappropriate.
