Iran to Designate European Armies as Terror Organizations in Retaliation

By Staff, Agencies

Warning of the Iranian Parliament’s swift retaliatory action against the European Parliament’s plan to blacklist the Islamic Revolution Guard, the Parliament speaker said Iran is going to designate the armies of the European states in the region as terrorist organizations.

Speaking at a parliamentary meeting on Sunday, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said the Iranian Parliament will take “retaliatory, swift and decisive action” against any plan to sanction or include the IRG in the list of terrorist groups.

The Iranian Parliament is going to designate the armies of the European countries in the region as terrorist groups and organizations and take the necessary measures to counter them, the speaker added.

Denouncing the Western governments, specifically the European states, for the “dangerous tendency” towards terrorist behaviors and supporting terrorism against Iran, Qalibaf cautioned that such moves could trigger the Islamic Republic’s decision about a spectrum of retaliatory actions.

Qalibaf also lashed out at Europe for its dark record of harboring and backing the most notorious criminal terrorists, namely the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization [MKO] terrorist organization.

The recent move by the European Parliament has been strongly condemned by Iranian officials, commanders, and armed forces.

Chief Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard, Major General Hossein Salami warned the Europeans that they will have to suffer the consequences of repeating their past mistakes.
