Iran Declares EU Armies 'Terrorist Groups' in Retaliation for IRGC Listing
- •Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf announced that Iran considers EU armies as 'terrorist groups'.
- •This move is in retaliation for the EU designating Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization on January 29.
- •Qalibaf stated that the EU's decision to target the IRGC was against their own interests and blindly obeyed the Americans.
- •According to Iranian law, armies of European countries that listed the IRGC are now deemed terrorist groups.
- •The national security parliamentary commission will discuss expelling EU military attaches and coordinate with the foreign ministry.
Why It Matters: Iran retaliates against the EU by labeling its armies 'terrorist groups' after the IRGC's designation.
