European countries including Russia, Britain and France stated that they are against the US choice against Iran's elite military force.

Iran Press/Europe: The spokesperson of UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in reaction to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's request from Washington's allies to blacklist IRGC, said that the US action against the Revolutionary Guards is only the country's internal policy.

He made the remarks in an interview with IRNA according to Iran Press.

Also, French Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Agnès Von der Mühll criticised US President Donald Trump's action to designate IRGC as a terrorist group, saying that the US policy leads to the region instability.

In addition, Chairman of the State Duma International Affairs Committee said Russian parliamentary officials are seriously against blacklisting IRGC.

Speaking to IRNA in reaction to US recent hostile act, Leonid Slutsky said IRGC is an organisation which safeguards Iran. 

He added that the Commander of the IRGC Quds Force Major General Ghasem Soleimani and his staff are following the policies of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei to maintain security in Iran.

Slutsky stressed that Moscow is opposing such US decisions as sanctioning Iran and Russia and also its act of pulling out from Iran nuclear deal also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

On Apr. 08, US President Donald Trump accused Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps of alleged financing and promoting terrorism in the region, a baseless accusation which the country strongly rejected.

In a meeting with IRGC personnel and their family members in the capital Tehran on Monday, the eve of IRGC Commemoration Day, Ayatollah Khamenei said the Revolution Guards were on the front-lines of the fight against enemies both inside and outside of Iran.

“Americans are planning plots against the IRGC and the Islamic Revolution but such malicious acts will get them nowhere,” the Leader of the Islamic Revolution said. 101/201
