JAKARTA - Iran has summoned the ambassadors of EU member states regarding the entity's decision to label the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization.

"The ambassadors of the EU member states were summoned by the Deputy Minister for Political Affairs and the relevant Director General at the Iranian Foreign Ministry... During this summoning, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemned the decision of the EU Council of Ministers which was considered unreasonable and irresponsible," according to a statement from the Iranian Foreign Ministry as reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Wednesday, February 4.

The ministry accused the EU of violating the basic principles of the UN Charter and international law, which call for respect for national sovereignty.

His party also rejected the designation of the IRGC. calling it an "unforgivable insult to the Iranian nation".

On January 29, the European Union said it would designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization, a move that Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called a major strategic mistake.

The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf last weekend announced that the legislative body agreed to label the European national army as a terrorist group.
