Tehran (IP) - Iran's parliament held a closed session on considering countermeasures against the European Parliament, with the presence of the IRGC Commander Major General Hossein Salami and Minister of Foreign Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

Iran PressIran News: Meanwhile, Iran’s Majlis (Parliament) Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on Saturday that the legislative body is ready to decisively counter the European Parliament's move to designate the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) as a so-called terrorist organization.

The European Parliament on Wednesday adopted an amendment that was added to an annual foreign policy report, calling on the EU and its member states to include the IRGC on their terror list. The parliament also passed another resolution on Thursday, calling for more sanctions against Iranian individuals and entities and putting the IRGC on the EU terrorist list over alleged human rights violations during the recent riots.

The move by the European Parliament has been strongly condemned by Iranian officials, commanders, and the Armed Forces.
