On the eve of the European Union Council of Ministers meeting on Thursday, Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, said that the people and Iranian Resistance, bearing the memory of countless martyrs, are anxiously awaiting the European Union’s decision to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, with the unanimous consent of all member states and the alignment of other European countries with this decision.
She highlighted that the IRGC is the regime’s central instrument of violence and repression, and the principal vehicle for the export of terrorism, fundamentalism, and regional warmongering.
Rajavi stressed that designation as a terrorist organization is at least three decades overdue, noting that more than four decades of appeasement and protracted debate are enough.
"The decision to designate the IRGC, an institution synonymous with ignorance and crime must no longer be delayed," Rajavi said. "Just as the Iranian people once demanded the dismantling of the Shah’s criminal SAVAK, they now resolutely insist on the dissolution of the IRGC,".
She highlighted that the Iranian Resistance has consistently maintained that if the clerical regime were not intent on repression, war-making, and the export of extremism and terrorism, a single national army would suffice.
Rajavi affirmed that there is no justification for imposing the additional political, economic, and human burden of the IRGC on Iran’s long-suffering and deprived population.
In conclusion, she underscored that the Iranian people will no longer tolerate institutions built on torture and repression, whether SAVAK, the IRGC, or the regime’s intelligence apparatus.
"They demand a democratic republic founded on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The clerical regime’s record is undeniable: it has been condemned 72 times by the UN General Assembly and other United Nations bodies for grave violations of human rights,” she concluded.
