The European Parliament voted to include Iran's IRGC in the list of terrorist organizations

Yesterday, the European Parliament voted by a majority to support an amendment that would include the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on the list of terrorist groups. Formally, this decision was a response to the participation of the IRGC in the suppression of massive opposition unrest in Iran and to the possible supply of unmanned aerial vehicles by Iran to Russia, which the West accuses the Islamic Republic of.

However, behind the recognition of the IRGC as a terrorist organization, there is a more global reason - a new wave of deterioration in relations between the "collective West" and Iran. Like Russia, Iran turned out to be one of the pillars of resistance to the world order established by the West. Supply allegations drones and the suppression of the opposition are just reasons to continue to put pressure on Tehran.

At the forthcoming meeting of European foreign ministers in Brussels, the issue of tightening sanctions against Iran will be discussed. To all appearances, European states are no longer interested in normalizing relations with the Islamic Republic. More precisely, the governments of the EU countries are forced to act on instructions from the United States, and they are very dissatisfied with Iran's demonstrative disdain for the West's position on the same Ukraine.

In addition, in key EU countries there are large communities of immigrants from Iran, including political ones, who act as “moral support” for sanctions against the Islamic government, because of which these people (or their parents) were forced to leave their native country. .

Today, the European Parliament will consider in more detail the question of what other Iranian organizations, besides the IRGC, can be included in the sanctions list. It is possible that this will be the paramilitary Basij militia, which also participated in the suppression of riots. According to the European Parliament, the sanctions will deal a serious blow to Iran, since they will affect a large number of commercial structures affiliated with the IRGC.

Now the main thing for the EP is that the IRGC does not include each of its members in the list of "shaitans"

[Argon]

The EP is a small branch of a terrorist organization, which we are afraid to call by its own name and replace it with the word hegemon!

[Sniper]

I will say more .. I am worried that Iran will include all the EU in its sanctions list, plus their overseas counterpart.

[Andron78]

American and European diplomacy is dead and stinks. Sanctions, sanctions, sanctions...

[Neo-9947]

And what prevents us from including the European Parliament in the list of terrorist organizations?

interferes"we are not like that"
We don’t even call Ukraine a terrorist country, but those who supply it with weapons are sponsors of terrorism. And when Mr. Lavrov calls them "our Western partners", he turns them inside out. Ugh!

[donavi49]

You can add to any list, but what's the point of it? EP - launched the procedure for imposing sanctions against Iran, including the return of canceled sanctions. What sanctions can Iran or Russia impose against the EU? Stop selling gaziki and oil? Block the placement of money in Russian/Iranian banks? Close the resorts of the Golden Ring and Golestan for Europeans?

[Alexandr2637]

Stop selling gas and oil

Yes. As well as all other resources. Freeze and seize all their assets in the Russian Federation, break off diplomatic relations. And generally change the rhetoric in relation to them. And finally stop all payments to them!!!

The hope of some part of the pseudo-elite to unfreeze their accounts and visit their homes there.

[Fizik13]

Yes, there is no need to trifle, the EU must be recognized as a terrorist organization.

Well, you are a villain, but how can the pseudo-elite not go to their villas there, they suffer here anyway.

[Tusv]

Who is KFOR? The most notorious international terrorists. Yes, even impudently covered by the UN. Shame

There would be a desire, but there is always a reason. And of course, the "icing on the cake" is the duty - the tightening of sanctions. Well, Europe does not want to exist normally with those who do not fit into its rules and do not want to become like it in the American system.

In fact, there is nothing unusual about this. Throughout history, mankind has been consolidating around centers of power; this is a natural sociological-anthropological process rooted in the biological nature of man. Man is a pack animal, the larger, richer and stronger the pack, the higher the safety and satiety in this pack. Such flocks gathered around Rome, Ancient Egypt, the USSR, the British Empire... And of course, flocks compete for resources. It's just that until the beginning of the era of enlightenment in the 17th century, it was not really wrapped up in an ideological wrapper (except perhaps a religious one) and was not particularly valued from the point of view of morality. Therefore, there was no division into "the forces of evil and the forces of good", which in fact is one big hypocrisy, they were divided into "friends and foes", which I think is somehow more honest.

And NATO was added to the list of Christmas bunnies. White and fluffy

[Uprun]

EU will impose sanctions against Iran? Hike, we are still champions in terms of packages and speed, compared with Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela. And in Iran they will be terribly upset ......?

[Petr_Koldunov]

Strange time, strange attitude to law, strange people in power.
Previously, to be recognized as a terrorist, certain criteria were required ... now it is enough to simply disagree with the gay values ​​​​of Europe and disobey the instructions on how to live from Brussels and Washington.

Populism and labels quickly become a tool when education levels drop.

[evgen1221]

Ok, for the barbaric suppression of peaceful demonstrations in Europe against rising prices and dispersing them with water cannons in the cold and tear gas - the use of chemical weapons on their citizens (and why not call it that, all the more so for business) Recognize these countries as totalitarian terrorist. And, do you have oil? -Well, go, go, go.
