Tehran is considering the possibility of recognizing the armed forces of the EU member states as "terrorist organizations." This is reported by the French edition of Le Figaro, referring to the warning of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran.
Earlier, the European Parliament voted to recognize the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps of Iran (IRGC) as a "terrorist organization" with the subsequent imposition of sanctions against this structure. The majority of MEPs voted for the recognition of the IRGC as a "terrorist organization". Now it is the turn of the political leadership of European states, since the resolutions of the European Parliament are only advisory in nature.
Iran decided to give a similar answer. The Mejlis of the country may also vote for the recognition of the armies of the EU countries as "terrorist groups". A decision on this issue has not yet been made, but it is possible that as soon as the EU countries impose sanctions, retaliatory measures will follow.
European countries accuse the IRGC of brutally suppressing mass riots that took place in Iran after the death of a young Iranian woman of Kurdish origin, Mahsa Amini, detained by police. The authorities of the country severely suppressed the protests, their most active participants were arrested.
In addition, the West claims that Iran is engaged in the supply of unmanned aerial vehicles for Russian troops involved in a special military operation on the territory of Ukraine. But Tehran, like Moscow, rejects these accusations. According to the Iranian side, the delivery of UAVs was carried out before a special military operation.
