US EditionIRGC Terrorist Designation: Islamic Regime Created 'Hell on Earth' for 85 Million People Inside Iran
Iran defends IRGC as a legal military force key to regional security and fighting ISIS, calling the EU's terrorist designation a violation of international norms, Ambassador said.
- Thursday, in Brussels, EU foreign ministers adopted a terrorism listing that places the IRGC under the EU terrorism framework, with officials calling it a decisive step.
- Lobbying and deadly crackdowns spurred the decision, with EU foreign ministers citing brutal repression and a letter describing an estimated 12,000 Iranian protesters killed, while a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers urged action.
- The IRGC operates as a state institution overseeing ballistic missile and nuclear programs, and adding it to the EU terror list requires unanimity among 27 members, raising legal questions.
- Mohammad Fathali, Iranian Ambassador to India, called the EU move a strategic miscalculation ignoring realities and international law, while Iran's Parliament declared involved armed forces terrorist and warned of destructive consequences.
- Amid wider tensions, officials warned the step could worsen regional instability and hit European interests, as the EU's unprecedented listing exposes divisions among member states and raises legal challenges, with Abbas Araghchi criticising the move.
