    EU: rejects Iran’s categorisation of EU armies as ‘terrorist groups’

    -

    PARIS, Feb ​2 (Reuters) - The European Union said it rejected Iran's decision ⁠to consider as "terrorist groups" the armies of EU ‍countries after the EU listed ​the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the bloc's list of terrorist ​organisations.

    "We reject the announcement of the listing of EU armies and the accusation of terrorism," said ‌European Commission spokesperson Anouar ‌El Anouni.

    Iran's move came after the ​EU last Thursday marked a symbolic shift in its ‌approach to Iran's leadership by ⁠designating the Revolutionary Guards ‌as a ​terrorist organisation, following what turned out to be the Islamic ⁠Republic's bloodiest ⁠crackdown of protests since its ​establishment in 1979.
