During a debate at the European Parliament on October 22, members highlighted the urgent need to address the Iranian regime’s destabilizing activities in Europe and called for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/a> (IRGC) to be designated as a terrorist organization. The session, which took place in Strasbourg, centered on the increasing security threats posed by Iran’s regime, particularly through its proxies and intelligence networks, which many MEPs said are responsible for recent attacks and assassination attempts on European soil.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n MEP Javier Zarzalejos <\/span><\/b>condemned the Iranian regime, stating, “Can anyone doubt that the Iranian regime sponsors, promotes, and finances terrorism in Europe?” He cited the assassination attempt<\/a> on former European Parliament VP Alejo Vidal-Quadras, noting it was orchestrated by “hitmen hired by Iran.” Zarzalejos also highlighted Iran’s internal repression, including “executions, violence against women, and the suppression of criticism,” accusing the West of sending “messages of impunity to the Ayatollahs’ regime.” He described Iran as “Russia’s partner and ally in its aggression against Ukraine,” and noted its influence over “Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis,” urging the EU to take a firmer stance against Tehran.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n "Can anyone doubt that the Iranian regime sponsors and finances terrorism in Europe?<\/p>\n If so, just think back to what happened a year ago, when a former Vice-President of this House miraculously survived an assassination attempt by hitmen hired by #Iran<\/a>."<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcfa@FZarzalejos<\/a> #EPlenary<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/l9uOklsH9W<\/a><\/p>\n — EPP Group (@EPPGroup) October 23, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
