Europe Considers Designating IRGC as Terror Organization

European officials, led by EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, are considering designating Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its subsidiary forces as terrorist organizations due to their violent repression of protests. Kallas highlighted Iran’s internet blackout and its broader human rights abuses, alongside its destabilizing actions in Europe and support for Russia. While some MEPs pushed for sanctions, others opposed them, arguing they harm Iranian civilians and violate sovereignty. The debate reflects tensions over differing responses to global human rights issues, including alleged double standards concerning Israel.
