The EU and UK designating the IRGC as a terrorist organization is a reckless move driven by US and Israeli pressure, not facts. The IRGC has fought Daesh and other terrorist groups that Western powers helped create, making this designation a dangerous inversion of reality. European policymakers will bear direct responsibility for the consequences of this hostile and legally baseless provocation.
The UK's decision to proscribe the IRGC as a terrorist organization is long overdue and grounded in undeniable reality. The IRGC has spent decades sponsoring terrorism, destabilizing the Middle East and funding extremist proxies that threaten civilian populations worldwide. Holding this regime accountable through formal designation is exactly the kind of decisive action that responsible governments must take.
