TEHRAN (Defapress) - In response to the declaration of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization in the European Union, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran announced in a statement: The irrational, irresponsible and hateful action of the European Union has undoubtedly been taken in unquestioning obedience to the hegemonic and inhumane policies of the United States and the Zionist regime, and it reflects the depth of the hostility and hatred of the leaders of this group towards the honorable nation of Iran, the armed forces, and the security and independence of the powerful country of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Such a baseless and fundamental decision, devoid of any rationality, was taken under pressure from the delusional and senseless President of the United States and the terrorist and child-killing Zionist regime, and is a clear violation of international laws and regulations, the United Nations Charter, and the undisputed principles of respect for the national sovereignty of countries.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has always been a legal, powerful institution and at the forefront of the fight against state terrorism by the United States and the dangerous Zionist regime. This institution, which arose from the people's text and is rooted in the ideals of the Islamic Revolution, has always stood at the forefront in defending the proud and courageous nation of Iran, as well as the suffering and wounded nations from the terrorist groups organized by the leaders of the United States, the Zionist regime, and their insecure armies, with the support of some European countries, and has so far sacrificed thousands of martyrs and veterans in this divine and humane path.

Undoubtedly, this serious question is raised for the nations and statesmen of the world: how can the European Union, with complete shamelessness and complete shamelessness, accuse a powerful and anti-terrorism institution to please and satisfy Trump and Netanyahu - as the leaders of the world's terrorist cults?

Certainly, this accusation against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been made in order to support, strengthen, expand, and legitimize terrorism in the world and the region.

The sacrifices of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in the fight against terrorist groups, including ISIS and the MKO, which have been directly supported by the leaders of the United States and Europe, are a clear testament to the unparalleled role of this revolutionary institution in ensuring regional peace and security.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, while emphasizing its firm determination to fight decisively against terrorist groups, warns that the dangerous consequences of this hostile and provocative decision will be directly borne by European policymakers.

The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, especially the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, relying on the faith, knowledge, and support of the dear and heroic Iranian nation, are taking steps with a stronger and more powerful will than in the past on the path of protecting the dignity, independence, and national security of the country and the region, and will increase their defense capabilities day by day.
