US EditionIran considers EU armies as 'terrorist groups' in retaliatory move
Iran's parliament invoked a 2019 law to designate EU militaries as terrorist groups following the EU's listing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, signaling potential expulsions of EU military attaches.
- DUBAI reporting noted that Iran's parliament announced all European Union militaries are 'terrorist groups' on Feb 1, citing Article 7 of a 2019 law, said Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
- Reacting to the EU's Thursday decision, EU officials linked the listing to Iran's crackdown on protests earlier this month.
- Lawmakers appeared in IRGC uniforms and signalled their defiance by chanting slogans, while the parliamentary security commission signalled it would consider expelling EU military attaches.
- The move increases diplomatic strain as U.S. naval forces near Iran and Iranian leadership warned the European Union would face consequences, raising the risk of wider regional conflict.
- Officials said `fair` negotiations remain possible if missile and defence topics are excluded, but analysts warn the reciprocal proscription may complicate future diplomacy with Iran.
