The European Union (EU) designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization following violent crackdowns on protesters that killed thousands in recent weeks. The designation was adopted by EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels and places the IRGC under the bloc’s terrorism framework.

I’m no fan of the IRGC, but this is not what a terrorist organization is if this word is supposed to have a meaning (which it doesn’t).
Might be a stupid question but what would you call ICE?
The Gestapo? (Not so) secret police? Definitely not a terrorist organization if that’s what you’re implying.
Fair definition but really you don’t think that the Gestapo is itself a State Terror Organization?
Morally i totally agree, but if i see what powers this gives the member countries i do totally support this move. Maybe they should make a list with violent government bodies that would function in the same way as the list of terrorist organisation.
