Kosovo declares Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist

The Kosovo government has declared Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization, during a meeting on Monday in Pristina.

Prime Minister Albin Kurti said that "through this decision, Kosovo strengthens its position in protecting international security, democratic values ??and human rights."

"This is a clear alignment of Kosovo alongside its strategic allies in the joint fight against terrorism," Kurti emphasized.

He described the IRGC as "a structure that uses terrorism and organized violence as an instrument of foreign policy, contributing to regional and global destabilization."

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is the ideological wing of Tehran's military and was created after the 1979 revolution to protect the clerical leadership.

The Guard controls or owns companies throughout the Iranian economy, including key strategic sectors.

Several countries have already declared the IRGC a terrorist organization, including the United States.

Recently, the European Union declared him a terrorist after Tehran brutally suppressed anti-government protests earlier this year.

Human rights organizations have said that over 6,000 people were killed during the protests in Iran.

According to them, the protesters were killed by security forces, including the Revolutionary Guard, who fired directly at the protesters.

Iran, with a population of over 91 million, does not recognize Kosovo as a state and has no official diplomatic relations with the country.

Blacklisting a group or organization usually means freezing its assets in that country and imposing a visa regime on its leaders and officials./REL
