Iranian Heads of Power Decry EP’s Anti-IRGC Move as Part of Hybrid War
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Iranian president, Parliament speaker and Judiciary chief slammed the European Parliament’s push to brand the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) as a “terrorist organization” as part of the hybrid war against the Iranian nation.
In a trilateral meeting on Saturday evening, President Ebrahim Raisi, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf and Judiciary Chief Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei decried the European Parliament’s hostile move against the IRGC as another measure in the hybrid war against the Iranian nation and the Islamic Republic.
Pointing to the failure of the enemy’s media, psychological and economic war against Iran, the heads of the three branches of power praised the IRGC as a component of Iran’s military power that has offered valuable services in defending the Islamic Republic for over 40 years.
They also weighed plans for close coordination and cooperation among all organizations to achieve the goals of the development of Iran.
The recent move by the European Parliament has been strongly condemned by Iranian officials, commanders, and armed forces.
The Iranian parliament passed a law in April 2019 designating American forces in West Asia, known as the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), as a terrorist organization. The move was made in response to the US blacklisting of the IRGC.
