BRUSSELS — European parliamentarians are making a renewed push to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, and to concomitantly reinforce sanctions on the Islamic Republic in the wake of Hamas’s deadly Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel.
A statement released earlier this month by legislators in 19 countries across Europe calls out “Iran’s state sponsored terrorism and war crimes against Israel.” The lawmakers, who lead the Israel Allies Caucuses in their respective parliaments, call to “snap back E.U. sanctions” on Iran and to investigate the Islamic Republic for war crimes in connection with its support for Hamas.
