Iran Threatens EU Armies with 'Terrorist' Label After IRGC Blacklist

• Iran warned it might designate EU armed forces as 'terrorists' if the bloc blacklists its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
• Top Iranian security official Ali Larijani stated that armies of countries supporting the EU's move would be considered terrorist entities.
• The threat follows EU foreign ministers agreeing to add the IRGC to its list of terrorist organizations, a move confirmed by EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas.
• The EU listing is largely symbolic but places the IRGC alongside groups like al-Qaida, Hamas, and the Islamic State.
• This development occurs amid widespread protests in Iran and previous similar designations by the United States and Canada.

Why It Matters: Iran threatens to label EU armies as terrorists in retaliation for the EU's IRGC blacklist.
