EU Designates IRGC as Terrorist Organization, Faces Challenges in Dismantling Iranian Networks
The European Union has voted to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, imposing sanctions on 15 Iranian government officials and six organizations. This decision comes in response to Iran's treatment of protesters. Despite this move, experts warn that dismantling Iran's entrenched networks across Europe will be challenging due to decades of covert entrenchment. The IRGC has established a significant presence in Europe, often under the guise of diplomacy, making its removal complex. Enforcement of the sanctions will depend on individual EU member states, which have historically been inconsistent in such matters.
