Tensions continue to rise between Iran and the European Union (EU). A high-ranking Iranian official has announced that if the EU recognizes the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a "terrorist organization," then the armed forces of EU countries will also be considered "terrorists." This move could further escalate relations between the two sides.
Redaksiya, citing TRT Haber, reports that Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, stated that if EU countries recognize the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a "terrorist organization," EU leaders will be held responsible for the consequences of this decision. Larijani's statement demonstrates Iran's firm stance against the EU.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a powerful organization that plays a significant role in the country's military and political system. Its recognition as a "terrorist organization" by the EU is considered a serious threat to Iran, and in response to this move, Iran has indicated its readiness to take harsh measures against the EU. These mutual accusations and threats could lead to further deterioration of diplomatic relations and increased tension between the two sides. Ali Larijani's statement shows that Iran is taking a principled stance on this issue and will not back down. This situation could also negatively impact the security situation in the region.
