Calls to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC<\/a>) as a terrorist organization are gaining unprecedented international traction, as governments across Europe and the Americas move closer to formal action against the regime\u2019s most powerful military and ideological arm.<\/p>\n

On May 27, Denmark\u2019s Foreign Minister Lars L\u00f8kke Rasmussen told his country\u2019s parliament that the IRGC\u2019s actions\u2014both within Iran and across the Middle East\u2014justify its inclusion on the European Union\u2019s terrorist blacklist. \u201cThis includes their violent and completely unacceptable behavior in suppressing the Iranian people,\u201d Rasmussen said, referring to the IRGC\u2019s brutal role in quelling the 2022 nationwide protests following the death of Mahsa Amini in morality police custody. He also cited the IRGC\u2019s ongoing support for terrorist proxy groups including Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Syria\u2019s Assad regime.<\/p>\n

The Danish parliament is now reviewing a formal legislative proposal that would push the EU to take decisive action against the IRGC.<\/p>\n

Just days earlier, over 560 members<\/a> of the UK House of Commons and House of Lords signed a bipartisan letter demanding that the British government designate the IRGC a terrorist organization. Among the signatories were former ministers and prominent political figures like Iain Duncan Smith and Suella Braverman. The letter warned that appeasement of what it called a \u201ccollapsing regime\u201d in Iran would only embolden its repressive tactics and nuclear ambitions.<\/p>\n
