Iran has named the air and naval forces of all EU countries as terrorist groups. This happened late Saturday. Iran did this because the EU recently called Iran's IRGC a terrorist group. This makes things worse between Iran and the EU.
Iran says this is a fair response. They think the EU’s choice was wrong. Iran believes the EU broke rules. Iran’s action follows its own laws. They see it as an answer to European governments. The EU said they labeled the IRGC for bad actions. They also said the IRGC hurt peace.
The EU made its decision about the IRGC on Thursday. This means the IRGC has new rules. Their money in EU countries is frozen. EU people cannot give them money. The EU Parliament said the IRGC launched missiles. They also said it was a danger.
Cyprus was in charge of the EU Council. Now its forces are on Iran's list. This shows how EU countries work together. We do not know how Iran's choice will change things. But it is a very important message. This makes Iran-EU talks very hard. It can lead to more problems. Calling military groups terrorists is a big step. It makes talking harder.
