Iran summoned ambassadors from all EU member states with embassies in Tehran to protest the EU designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a "terrorist organization." A Foreign Ministry spokesman called the summons the "minimum" response and warned of further reactions. Iranian Parliament classified armed forces of individual EU states as "terrorist groups" under 2019 legislation, and lawmakers displayed IRGC uniforms while chanting "Death to America" and "Death to Israel." A European Commission spokesperson rejected the listing and the accusation of terrorism. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian ordered talks with the United States on the nuclear file, according to several Iranian media outlets citing an unnamed government source. The United States has threatened military action and deployed an aircraft carrier group to the Persian Gulf.
