Iran declares European armies 'terrorist groups' in retaliation for IRGC designation
Iran on Sunday designated the armies of European countries as "terrorist groups" following the EU decision last week to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on the bloc's list of terrorist organisations. The announcement came as the US and Iran traded warnings and threats of potential US military action and Iranian retaliation.
