Iranian MPs Condemn UK Parliament’s Bid to List IRGC
TEHRAN – Iranian lawmakers on Tuesday strongly condemned a move by members of the British parliament to designate the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, vowing to take reciprocal legal action. Ahmad Naderi, a member of Parliament’s presiding board, read out a statement in response to the move by over 550 members of the British House of Commons and House of Lords against the IRGC. The statement slammed the British legislators’ move as “foolish and hostile,” emphasizing that the Iranian parliament, based on its legal duty to defend national sovereignty, security, and the authority of Iran’s armed forces, strongly rejects this move.
