Iran Threatens 'Crushing Response' with 1,000 Drones Amid EU Terrorist Listing Move
- •Iran vowed a "crushing response" to any attack, deploying 1,000 "strategic drones" after US President Trump warned time was running out for a nuclear deal.
- •The EU is set to brand Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) as a terrorist organization due to their role in a violent crackdown on protests, which rights groups claim killed thousands.
- •This symbolic EU move, placing IRGC alongside groups like Al-Qaeda, is expected to have limited practical impact as the organization is already under sanctions.
- •The US naval strike group arrived in the Middle East, with Trump reiterating that the US is "ready, willing and able" to act against Iran if necessary.
- •Regional actors like Turkey, Russia, and Egypt have called for de-escalation and a resumption of dialogue between the US and Iran to prevent chaos and economic disruption.
Why It Matters: Iran threatens military retaliation as the EU moves to label its Revolutionary Guards a terrorist group, escalating regional tensions.
