In a new escalation of tensions between Tehran and the West, Iran announced that it has designated 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 Guard Corps to its blacklist of terrorist organizations. This announcement comes amid rising tensions in the region over the Iranian nuclear file and internal protests in Iran.

The EU had added the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps to its list of terrorist organizations, which means imposing sanctions on it, including freezing its funds and financial assets within EU member states. According to the statement, around 13 individuals and 23 groups and entities are currently subject to restrictive measures under the EU’s terrorism list.

In response, Iran announced that it will take measures based on the principle of reciprocity, and confirmed that all EU member states will 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 this classification.

Tehran added that all countries that comply with or support in any way the US decision in this regard will be subject to similar measures by the Islamic Republic of Iran. This escalation comes amid increasing tensions in relations between Iran and the West over the Iranian nuclear file.

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 over the nuclear file. These developments come amid the protests witnessed in Iran recently 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.
