Iranian Lawmakers Condemn UK Parliament’s Terrorist Designation of IRGC

In a significant development, Iranian lawmakers have expressed strong opposition to the recent designation of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization by members of the British Parliament. This move has prompted vows of reciprocal legal action from Iran, highlighting the ongoing tensions between the two nations.

During an open session of Parliament on Tuesday, Ahmad Naderi, a member of the Parliament’s presiding board, presented a statement reacting to the actions taken by over 550 members of the British House of Commons and House of Lords against the IRGC. The statement included several key points:

  • The British legislators’ decision was labeled as “foolish and hostile.”
  • The Iranian parliament firmly rejects this action, asserting its legal obligation to protect Iran’s sovereignty, security, and military authority.
  • The initiative was described as being motivated by “Zionist regime orders and the propaganda of the terrorist [MKO] group,” lacking both legal foundation and political legitimacy.
  • Lawmakers criticized Britain for its persistent colonial and interventionist stance towards independent nations.
  • The statement highlighted Britain’s “dark history” of interference in Iran, which has jeopardized the security and well-being of the Iranian populace.

This response from Iranian officials underscores the strained relations between Iran and the UK, as well as the broader geopolitical implications surrounding the designation of the IRGC. The situation remains fluid, with potential developments expected in the coming days as both sides navigate this complex issue.
