Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s Foreign Minister, emphasized in a joint press conference with the Turkish Foreign Minister stressed that the European Union’s decision to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization reflects a serious miscalculation and a sign of the gradual decline of rationality within this institution.

He added, “It is regrettable that Europe, as a declining entity, has lost the ability to understand its real interests and has been driven down an emotional and unrealistic path.“
“If it were not for the sacrifices of the IRGC and its decisive fight against ISIS terrorism, European citizens today would have had to confront terrorism on their own streets. Europe’s recent action is a clear example of blatant ingratitude toward a force that has secured the region’s—and even the world’s—security through its sacrifices.“
“The Islamic Republic of Iran urges European officials to distance themselves from emotional approaches and return to rationality before it is too late, as they will soon face the costly consequences of this strategic mistake.“
