PARIS, Feb 2 (Reuters) - The European Union said it rejected Iran’s decision to consider as “terrorist groups” the armies of EU countries after the EU listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the bloc’s list of terrorist organisations.

“We reject the announcement of the listing of EU armies and the accusation of terrorism,” said European Commission spokesperson Anouar El Anouni.

Iran’s move came after the EU last Thursday marked a symbolic shift in its approach to Iran’s leadership by designating the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organisation, following what turned out to be the Islamic Republic’s bloodiest crackdown of protests since its establishment in 1979.
