"Event 10 describes the UK proscribing the IRGC following attacks on the Jewish community, which is the exact same diplomatic action and causal trigger described in the new event. They are effectively duplicate reports of the same incident."
"Event 11 reports the UK banning the IRGC and IMCR citing Iran-backed antisemitic attacks. This is semantically identical to the new event, representing a parallel report of the same diplomatic escalation."
