EU politically designates Iran's IRGC as a 'terrorist organisation'

EU foreign ministers agreed to politically designate Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) as a “terrorist organisation,” with Kaja Kallas and Ursula von der Leyen calling the move decisive and long overdue. Tehran called the step irresponsible and warned of destructive consequences. The EU also imposed visa bans and asset freezes on 21 Iranian entities and officials. The designation is largely symbolic, since the IRGC and senior commanders were already under EU sanctions. The decision comes amid widespread protests in Iran and heightened tensions with the US. https://www.trtworld.com/article/96c927347178
