EU Designates Iran's Revolutionary Guard as Terrorist Organization Amid Crackdown

  • The European Union has officially listed Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization.
  • The designation follows Tehran's violent suppression of nationwide protests, which activists claim has resulted in over 6,300 deaths.
  • EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas stated that foreign ministers unanimously agreed on the decision.
  • Kallas emphasized that any regime responsible for killing its own citizens is heading towards its downfall.
  • This move comes after the EU previously sanctioned 15 Iranian officials, including top Revolutionary Guard commanders, for their role in the crackdown.

Why It Matters: The EU has designated Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group due to its violent protest crackdown.
