article archiveThe European Union has added Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to its terrorist list in response to Tehran's deadly crackdown on protesters in recent weeks.
"Repression cannot go unanswered," the bloc's top diplomat Kaja Kallas said, adding the move will put the IRGC - a major military, economic and political force in Iran - on the same level as jihadist groups like al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the EU decision was a "stunt" and a "major strategic mistake".
Human rights groups estimate thousands of protesters were killed by security forces, including the IRGC, during weeks of unrest in December and January.
