This resolution calls upon the European Union to expeditiously designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization under its Common Position 931. It details the IRGC's long history of human rights abuses within Iran, including the suppression of protests and violence against civilians, and its role in maintaining the Iranian regime's power for over 45 years. The resolution emphasizes the IRGC's extensive involvement in international terrorism and destabilization. This includes providing critical support, funding, and training to various proxy forces such as Hezbollah , Palestinian Islamic Jihad , and Hamas , which have targeted civilians and Western interests. Furthermore, the IRGC is cited for supporting Russia's war in Ukraine with lethal drones and for plotting assassinations of dissidents and former U.S. officials globally. The resolution notes that the United States and Canada have already designated the IRGC as a terrorist entity, and the European Parliament has repeatedly voted in favor of such a designation. It encourages the U.S. administration to make this designation a diplomatic priority in its engagements with the European Union, welcoming broader international efforts to classify the IRGC as a terrorist organization.
