EU Designates Iran's Revolutionary Guard as Terrorist Organization Amid Crackdown
- •The European Union has officially listed Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization.
- •The designation follows Tehran's violent crackdown on nationwide protests, which activists report has led to over 6,300 deaths.
- •EU foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, announced the unanimous agreement by foreign ministers on the designation.
- •Kallas stated that "any regime that kills thousands of its own people is working toward its own demise."
- •This move comes after the 27-nation bloc sanctioned 15 Iranian officials, including top Revolutionary Guard commanders, for their role in the crackdown.
