European Union Adds Iranian Revolutionary Guards to Terrorist List
January 29, 2026 • Google News World
The European Union has added the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to its list of terrorist organizations. The move was announced by EU officials, who stated that the IRGC’s actions and ideology align with those of a terrorist group.
According to reports, the EU’s decision is part of an ongoing effort to address Iran-US tensions. The US has already designated the IRGC as a terrorist organization, and this move is seen as a further escalation of the conflict between the two countries.
The IRGC is a powerful force within Iran’s theocratic government, with significant influence over the country’s military and security forces. The group has been involved in various conflicts, including the Syrian Civil War and the Yemeni Civil War.
The EU’s decision to label the IRGC as a terrorist organization is seen as a response to concerns about the group’s activities and ideology. However, details of the EU’s reasoning behind this move are not yet clear.
Iranian officials have condemned the EU’s decision, calling it an “unfair” and “prejudiced” move. The US has also expressed support for the EU’s decision, stating that it is a necessary step to address the threat posed by the IRGC.
The implications of this move are still unclear, but it is likely to further strain relations between Iran and the West.
