IRGC terrorist designation: Islamic regime created ‘hell on earth’ for 85 million individuals inside Iran

François Picard is happy to welcome Shahin Modarres, Iran Staff lead at ITSS Verona and Lecturer on the College of Rome Tor Vergata. Mr. Modarres argues that the EU’s designation of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group is lengthy overdue. Framing the IRGC as each a home instrument of repression and a transnational actor in terrorism, Mr. Modarres criticises years of European inaction, warns of potential migrant crises throughout the EU, and requires accountability for Western complicity.
