Kallas: The EU will declare Iran’s Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization

European Union foreign ministers have agreed to include Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on the bloc’s list of terrorist organizations, the head of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, announced on Thursday.

– EU foreign ministers have just taken a decisive step by designating Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization – Kallas wrote on the X social network platform.

– Any regime that kills thousands of its own citizens is working on its own downfall – she added, reports Reuters.

Let us remind you that today the European Union adopted a new set of sanctions aimed at the official Tehran.

Some EU members, led by France, have long hesitated to add the IRGC to the list, but Paris said on Wednesday it would support the move, paving the way for approval, although such a decision requires unanimity among the bloc’s 27 members.

The IRGC, founded after Iran’s Islamic Revolution in 1979 to protect the Shiite clerical system of government, has a large utcaj in the country, controlling parts of the economy and armed forces, and is also in charge of Iran’s ballistic missile program and nuclear arsenal, Reuters reports.
