EU Designates IRGC as Terrorist Organization
EU foreign ministers unanimously vote to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, following France's shift to support the measure on January 28. The European Council also sanctions 15 individuals and 6 entities for human rights violations, including Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni. Iran denounces the designation as 'selective outrage' and warns of 'hazardous consequences.'
