The Iranian parliament issued a statement on Sunday, noting that the European Parliament embarked on an unwise act on January 19, when the parliament backed rioters and anti-Iran elements, urging the Council of Europe to impose sanctions on the Iranian authorities and blacklist the IRGC as a “terrorist group.”
The Iranian lawmakers underlined that the European Parliament’s decision is based on wrong data and biased judgments under the influence of political motivations and Iranophobic sentiments.
It is clear that the opponents have failed to implement their project of destabilizing the Islamic country; so, they resort to these unfounded measures in order to put pressure on Iran through the use of media and political tools, the statement noted.
The IRGC and the Basij force are two popular forces, that have their roots in the Iranian people, it said, adding that the two entities have played an undisputable role in the fight against terrorism in the West Asia region, particularly Martyr General Qasem Soleimani, who lost his life to improving security and dignity of the people of the region.
Identifying the IRGC, which is a governmental entity active in defending the Iranian establishment and people, as a terrorist group is a blatant violation of international regulations, including the law of non-intervention in other countries' internal affairs as well as respecting the sovereignty of governments, the communique emphasized, adding that the dangerous attitude will face decisive reaction from the Iranian parliament, and the negative consequences of the decision would be on the shoulder of military organizations of the European Union and the European states.
The Iranian legislators also cautioned that the violation of international laws in the resolution of the European Parliament indicates that the European entity is under the influence of anti-Iran elements, which will add to the resentment of the Iranian nation towards the fake supporters of diplomacy and ethics.
The Iranian parliament will pursue legislative measures in response to the ignorant move, the statement said, adding that the advocators of the illegal act would face the negative repercussion and that it is noteworthy the popularity of the Islamic establishment is very strong and the pressures will not bear fruit for the opponents.
