KOMENTARZWIADOMOŚCIWAŻNE EU designated Iran’s IRGC as a terrorist organization Amelia Wojciechowska 2 min. The European Union has formally listed Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, a decision that deepens diplomatic tensions with Tehran and unfolds against the backdrop of escalating U.S. threats to launch a military attack on Iran. EU leaders stress that while they condemn the IRGC’s actions, they firmly oppose the prospect of a new Middle East war. At the same time, the EU has sought to draw a clear line between sanctioning Iran’s repressive elite forces and supporting any military escalation. Even as Brussels expands sanctions against Iranian officials, Kallas and several EU governments insist that isolating Iran militarily is neither desirable nor strategically sound.
