Iran designates EU armies ‘terrorist groups’ in retaliatory move

Iran has labeled European armies "terrorist groups" in response to the EU's designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as such. The move was made under Article 7 of Iran's Law on Countermeasures Against the Declaration of the IRGC as a Terrorist Organisation, according to Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

Ghalibaf described the European Union's decision as a "blind obedience" to American interests and said that Europeans have effectively shot themselves in the foot by designating Iran's military wing. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas had announced the designation of the IRGC, citing repression and saying it could not go unanswered.

Iran has reported 3,117 deaths during protests, with at least 2,427 described as innocent protesters or security forces killed. The country also cut off internet and mobile access nationwide on January 8, amid widespread unrest.

The move comes amid rising tensions between Iran and the US, with President Donald Trump repeatedly threatening military strikes against the Islamic Republic. However, Trump recently stated that Iran was "seriously talking" to the US over negotiations.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that any attack on the country would lead to a regional conflict. The Iranian nation will strike back strongly if attacked and harassed, according to Khamenei.
 
Lmao what's next? Iran gonna label us as terrorist groups for liking memes from their oppressors? Like seriously though, EU and US are just enabling Iran's paranoia 🤣🇮🇷. They're so invested in being seen as tough on terrorism they're basically playing right into Iran's hands. Newsflash: designating a military group is not the same as actually doing something about it 🙄. And what's with all these "strongly strike back" threats? More like "strongly hide under your bed and wait for the next time you get called out on Twitter 😂".
 
this is getting crazy 🤯, europe basically labeled iran's military branch as terrorists and now Iran is firing back 🚫😡 can we just calm down for a sec? like, what's the point of all this escalating tension? innocent people are dying left and right on both sides (3k+ deaths in iran protests) & europe didn't even think that one through before pushing it forward... meanwhile trump is still trying to negotiate with iran... but seriously, isn't there a better way to resolve conflicts without resorting to insults & aggression? 💔💬
 
omg is iran really calling out eu armies as terrorist groups? like whats next 😱 it just shows how serious things are between the two right now. i dont think anyone expected a reaction like this from iran 🤯 especially with all the protests and stuff going on. trump making those threats was already super concerning, but i guess we can add this to the list of crazy times we're living in 🤯 the eu should really be careful here, or things could escalate even more ⚠️
 
Wow 😂! This is getting crazy! EU trying to label an entire army as terrorist group? Interesting 👀. Iran's gonna be like "oh no, you're basically saying we can't defend ourselves 🤯" & just cut off all their internet & mobiles... genius 💻. And Trump's always talking trash, but now it seems like he's kinda making things work with the talks 😎.
 
omg you guys I'm literally worried about the situation in iran 🤯 they've already lost so many people during those protests and now it feels like things are escalating even more...I don't get why europe is being so hard on them? didn't they know that would just make iran's supreme leader, ayatollah khamenei, even more defiant?! 😳 I mean, i'm all for standing up against repression but labeling the entire european army as "terrorist groups" seems like an overreaction to me...can we try to find a way to defuse this situation before it gets out of hand? 🤞
 
I DON'T KNOW HOW EUROPEANS CAN JUST DESIGNATE SOMEONE AS A TERRORIST GROUP WITHOUT EVEN SEEING THE OTHER SIDE OF THINGS 🤯. IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO COVER UP THEIR OWN INTERESTS AND NOT LOOK AT THE REAL ISSUES GOING ON IN IRAN 💸. THREE THOUSAND SEVENTEEN DEATHS DURING PROTESTS IS A LOT 😱. I FEEL BAD FOR THE INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO GOT KILLED OR SECURITY FORCES WHO WERE JUST DOING THEIR JOB 👮‍♂️. AND NOW IRLAN'S CUTTING OFF INTERNET AND MOBILE ACCESS NATIONWIDE? THAT'S LIKE TAKING AWAY PEOPLE'S FREEDOMS 🚫. I GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW THIS ALL PLAYS OUT 🕰️.
 
I'm getting really worried about this whole situation... 🤕 I mean, 3,117 deaths during protests? That's insane! And cutting off internet and mobile access nationwide? It sounds like Iran is trying to control the narrative and silence dissenting voices. 🚫 EU labeling the IRGC as a terrorist group might be seen as a diplomatic move, but it could also escalate things.

I'm not sure what's more concerning - the rising tensions between Iran and the US or the fact that Europeans are essentially "blindly" following American interests 🤯. It's like they're playing with fire without even considering the consequences. 🔥 And then you have Khamenei threatening regional conflict if attacked... it's a powder keg waiting to be ignited.

Can't we just talk things out and find some common ground? 😩
 
OMG u guys!!! this is getting outta control 🤯! EU's decision to label Iran's military wing as terrorist groups has got me SHOOK 😲 i mean what's next? are they gonna start calling our own armies terrorists too?!?! it's just another example of how the world is getting more and more complicated... like, can't we all just get along?! 🤗 but seriously, 3,117 deaths in protests?! that's like, a whole lotta people lost their lives 🙏 and now Iran's threatening to fight back? it's like, a big ol' mess 😩 but at the same time i don't wanna take sides or anything... it's all just so bloody confusing 🤯
 
I don’t usually comment but I think this is getting pretty intense 🤯. EU labeling Iran's military wing as terrorist group is like, what’s next? They’re basically saying Iran can't even defend itself without being a terror organization. It feels like the US is fueling the fire and now everyone else is playing along 😒.

I don’t get why the EU wouldn’t just have an open conversation with Iran about their concerns instead of going nuclear 💣. And what’s with all these threats from Trump? Like, calm down dude 🙄. It's not like they're gonna actually go to war over this 😅. But seriously, it's getting really worrying that no one can resolve this peacefully anymore 💔.

I don’t think anyone is thinking about the innocent protesters who are dying in the streets 👥. 3,117 deaths? That’s just insane 💀. And Iran cutting off internet access nationwide? Like, what even is the point of that 🤷‍♂️. It's like they're trying to suck all the life out of their own people 😢.

I don’t know how much more of this I can take 💥. Can we please just have a calm and rational conversation about our differences instead of resorting to these extreme measures? 🙏
 
🚨 Can you believe this? Iran just declared European armies "terrorist groups" 😱 after the EU labeled their military wing as such... it's getting super intense! 💥 I mean, I get why they're upset, but come on, don't be mad at the whole continent just because of one decision 🤷‍♂️. And honestly, can we talk about how sensitive this situation is? Like, 3,117 deaths during protests and Iran cuts off internet... what's going on over there?! 🤯 The EU just tried to do their job and now Iran's all like "you're gonna regret this"... this is a super tricky situation! 💼
 
idk what EU r thinkin 🤷‍♂️... labelin entire armies as terrorist groups is just crazy talk 😂. its all about politics and who's got the power in this case. US is tryna play both sides against each other, but honestly, thats not gonna end well 4 anyone 🙅‍♂️. iran's been vocal abt their concerns and now EU's just playin dumb 🤦‍♂️. meanwhile, innocent ppl r dyin on the streets and EU's more worried bout diplomatic relations 💔. Iran's got every right to defend itself, even if it means takin out its frustrations on EU 👊. lets not 4get the 3k+ deaThS already happen 🕊️
 
🚨 Iran's move is super worrying 🤯. I mean, they're basically saying that EU armies are terrorist groups now, which is gonna be a major escalation. It's like, you gotta wonder what Europe was expecting when it made this decision. They're essentially cutting off diplomatic channels with Iran and putting themselves in a very vulnerable position.

And can we talk about the fact that Iran has reported over 3k deaths during protests? 🤕 Innocent lives lost because of politics. It's heartbreaking. The EU needs to think carefully before making moves like this.

The US and Iran situation is getting increasingly volatile, but at least Trump said they're talking... maybe? 💬 Still, it's hard not to feel that things could go either way. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for peace 🙏🏼💕
 
I'M SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS NEWS!!! IT'S LIKE IRAN IS PLAYING A GAME OF CHICKEN WITH THE EU AND US! THEY'RE ACTING LIKE IF YOU PICK ON ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS, ALL YOUR OTHER FRIENDS ARE GONNA COME AFTER THEM! I MEAN, I GET IT, THE EU WAS WRONG TO DESIGNATE IRAN'S MILITARY WING AS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION, BUT DID THEY HAVE TO CALL THEM "TERRORIST GROUPS"? THAT'S JUST GOING TO escalate things BIG TIME!
 
omg can't believe what's happening 🤯 so iran is basically saying european armies are terrorist groups now? like what even is that? i mean i get why they're upset but this move feels super aggressive... does anyone think it'll lead to actual conflict or just more hot heads talking trash 💣
 
omg have you guys tried those new matcha lattes at Starbucks? 🤯 i went there yesterday and it was SO good!!! 😋 they're like drinking a whole green tea ceremony in a cup. anyway, back to iran... what's up with all these protests? 🤔 i feel bad for the innocent ppl who got killed or injured. on a lighter note, have you seen that video of a cat playing the piano online? 🐱😹 it's literally adorable!

I'm not buying this "terrorism" label thing 🤔. I mean, come on, EU's just following American interests, like they always do 👀. If they're so concerned about terrorism, why did it take them 5 years to finally slap IRGC with the terrorist tag? It smells like a PR stunt to me.

And what's up with Iran cutting off internet and mobile access nationwide during protests? Sounds like classic move to stifle dissent 🤥. And those numbers of deaths... 3,117? That's way too high for "protests" 😒. I want to see some sources on that one before I start believing it.

And don't even get me started on Trump's threats and the US-Iran tensions 😡. It's like a nuclear game of chicken over there. Can we just sit back, relax, and wait for someone to make a move? 🙄
 
🤯 just can't believe europe is getting all up in irans business like this... designation of irgc as terrorist group? it's crazy how quickly they jumped into this bandwagon without thinking about the consequences 🤷‍♂️

i mean, what's next? europe gonna send troops to iran to "help" with protests? 😂 please dont let that happen. and europe needs to think about their own security too - they're basically poking a sleeping giant in the face 💥

anyway, this whole thing is so complicated. both sides have valid points, but it's all getting really heated 🌪️ i just want to see some calm diplomacy for once... is that too much to ask? 😩
 
I dont know what the EU was thinking lol 🤯 3k deaths from protests in Iran? its crazy! I thought it was gonna be a major escalation with Trump but now he says they're talking? 🤷‍♂️ I mean, can't we all just get along? 😔 And now Iran's labeling European armies terrorist groups? that's some wild stuff 💥. What's next? 🤯
