Iran Press/ Iran News: In a statement on Thursday, the General Staff of the Armed Forces said the unwise call by the European Parliament is in contravention of all international regulations.
“In addition to being unprecedented in international rules and regulations, the recent move by the European Parliament will affect regional and global security, tranquility and peace, and the European Parliament must be careful about its consequences,” the statement read.
The statement praised the IRGC as a “strong and popular” institution and highlighted the significant role of the elite military force in fighting terrorism in the region.
Had it not been for the IRGC’s great efforts in the resistance front, under the command of Iran's martyred Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, the European countries could have now been under the control of the Daesh terrorist group, it added.

It emphasized that Iran’s Armed Forces, particularly the IRGC, would never give up on their role of safeguarding security, national interests, and lofty ideals of the Islamic Revolution as well as on continuous confrontations with the terrorists nurtured by the US, Britain, and the Israeli regime.
“The hostile governments will understand soon that they have made a mistake in their calculations once again,” the statement said.
The measure taken European Parliament’s measure, which is following in the footsteps of the US and the fake Israeli regime, showed its unlawful “dual and counter-security approaches” to the world.
The European Parliament’s members on Wednesday backed an amendment added to an annual foreign policy report, calling for “the EU and its member states to include the IRGC in the EU’s [so-called] terror list.”
The European Parliament (EP) also passed a resolution on Thursday that calls for designating IRGC as a so-called terror group.
