Iran’s parliament considers EU armies 'terrorist groups' after IRGC listing
Iran will treat the armies of European Union countries as “terrorist groups” after the EU designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on Sunday.
“By trying to hit the Revolutionary Guards ... the Europeans actually shot themselves in the foot and once again made a decision against the interests of their people by blindly obeying the Americans,” Ghalibaf told lawmakers, who were wearing Revolutionary Guard uniforms in a show of support for the force.
“According to Article 7 of the law on countermeasures against the designation of the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organisation, the armies of European countries are considered terrorist groups,” he added, saying parliament’s national security commission would consider expelling EU military attaches and pursue the matter with Iran’s foreign ministry.
