Iran Responds to EU Classification of Revolutionary Guards as Terrorist Organization
Content:
Introduction:
In a new escalation of tensions between Tehran and the West, Iran announced it has classified the naval and air forces of all European Union member states as terrorist organizations, in response to the EU’s decision to add the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to its blacklist of terrorist organizations. This announcement came amid rising regional tensions over the Iranian nuclear file and internal protests in Iran.
Details:
The European Union had previously added the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to its list of terrorist organizations, which means imposing sanctions on them including freezing their funds and financial assets within EU member states. According to the statement, approximately 13 individuals and 23 groups and entities are currently subject to restrictive measures under the EU’s terrorism list.
In response, Iran announced it would take measures based on the principle of reciprocity, confirming that all EU member states would be treated according to this classification. Iran based its response on Article 7 of the Reciprocal Action Law of 2019, which imposes similar treatment on any country that adopts such classification.
Tehran added that all countries that submit to or support in any way the American decision in this regard would be subject to similar measures by the Islamic Republic of Iran. This escalation came at a time when relations between Iran and the West are experiencing increasing tensions over the Iranian nuclear file.
Conclusion:
This latest escalation by Iran reflects the rising state of tension in the region, which coincides with the continuation of disputes between Iran, the United States, and Israel regarding the nuclear file. These developments come amid the protests that Iran has recently witnessed over the economic crisis, in which Western countries accused Iranian authorities of violently suppressing demonstrations. This escalation is likely to lead to further tensions in the region, especially with the continuation of disputes over the Iranian nuclear file.
