Iran Labels EU Military Forces as Terror Groups

Iran has labeled the armies of EU countries as “terrorist groups” following the EU’s designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, a move made amid Iran’s harsh crackdown on protests.

He indicated that the national security committee plans to discuss expelling military attaches from EU nations. The Revolutionary Guards, established after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, hold significant power in Iran’s economy and military.
