VP terms European Parliament reckless act as violation of int’l law

Tehran, IRNA – Iran’s Vice-President for Political Affairs Mohammad Dehqan said that blacklisting the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) is against the provisions of international law and violates the political independence and national sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which creates international responsibility for the European Union.

Designating the IRGC as a terrorist organization by the European Parliament, which is recognized in Article 150 of the Iranian Constitution as the official military force, is considered as blindly following the policies of the United States and disrespecting the principles of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic Iran, Dehqan said.

He added that Europe's cooperation with Washington's policies has turned this continent into a battlefield, which is unprecedented since World War II.

Blacklisting the IRGC is contrary to the provisions of international law and violates the political independence and national sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran and creates international responsibility for the European Union, he stated.

He referred to the IRGC's role in safeguarding the region and fighting terrorist groups, saying that the IRGC is the flag bearer of fighting terrorism in the region by observing international law.

The Iranian government and people will never forget the failure of the European countries to fulfill their JCPOA commitments, he said.

Part of today's problems of the Iranian people is caused by European countries following the United States in re-imposing unilateral sanctions against the Iranian nation, he added.

He stressed the fact that the European Parliament’s act is against the fundamental principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
