Six countries have decided to declare Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization, following discussions between Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar and his foreign counterparts.

The six countries are Iceland, Moldova, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Liechtenstein.

US President Donald Trump's administration urged US diplomats abroad this week to push allies to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Lebanon-based Hezbollah as terrorist groups, citing the elevated risk of attack, according to an internal State Department cable seen by Reuters.

EU includes IRGC on terrorist organization list

European Union foreign ministers in January agreed to include the IRGC on the bloc's list of terrorist organizations, putting the IRGC in a category similar to that of Islamic State and al-Qaeda and marking a symbolic shift in Europe's approach to Iran's leadership.

Iranian members of parliament later dressed up in IRGC uniforms to pass a bill that proscribed the armies of EU countries that listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the bloc's list of terrorist organizations in a meeting in Tehran.
