Iranian parliament seeking to declare EU armies as terrorist organisations in tit-for-tat step

Member of the Iranian Parliament's Presidency Ahmad Naderi announced preparations to respond to a European Parliament resolution recommending that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) be placed on the EU's list of terrorist organisations.

Iran intends to recognise the armies of EU countries as terrorists. In this regard, the parliament plans to expand the law "On the response to the recognition of the IRGC by the US as a terrorist organisation".

"The draft will apply to all EU member states, as well as their armed forces, their organisations and institutions that would put the IRGC on the list of terrorist organisations," ISNA news agency quoted Ahmad Naderi as saying.
