MEP urges EU to designate IRGC as terrorist organisation

German lawmaker Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann has called on the European Union to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation.

“The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps should be added to the EU’s list of terrorist organizations as soon as possible,” she wrote on X, Caliber.Az reports.

Die Revolutiongarde des Iran gehört schnellstmöglich auf die Terrorliste der EU. Es ist ein großes Versäumnis, dass dies noch nicht geschehen ist. Entgegen bisheriger Behauptungen ist dies möglich, es liegt wahrlich genug vor.

“The fact that this has not happened yet is a serious failure. Contrary to previous statements, it is possible — and there is indeed enough evidence.”

Strack-Zimmermann chairs the Defence Committee of the European Parliament.
