TEHRAN, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) — Iran's Foreign Ministry said Saturday that the country has designated the navies and air forces of all European Union member states as terrorist organizations.
As the department indicated in its statement, this step is a response to the recent “illegal and unfounded” decision of the EU to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization.
The statement noted that the EU's decision "contradicts the fundamental principles of the UN Charter and international law."
The document states that the Iranian government took retaliatory measures based on the principle laid out in the 2019 law, which states that “all countries that in any way comply with or support the U.S. decision to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization will be subject to retaliatory measures.” –0–
