BRUSSELS, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- Foreign ministers of the European Union (EU) have taken the "decisive step" of designating Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas said Thursday on X.
In a press release issued on the same day, the Council of the EU said that it decided to impose restrictive measures on 15 Iranian officials and six entities.
With the latest decision, the EU's restrictive measures now apply to 247 individuals and 50 entities, the Council said. The measures include asset freezes, travel bans to the EU, and a prohibition on making funds or economic resources available to those listed.
Recently, the EU has further stepped up pressure on Iran, aligning with the United States. ■
