The Iranian attack was accompanied by additional terrorist attacks by Iraqi militias, the Houthi militia in Yemen and Hezbollah in Lebanon, Haiat said. The attack proves what Israel has been saying for years: Iran is the biggest threat to regional stability and is behind the terrorist attacks in the region.
The Revolutionary Guards are Iran’s elite armed forces that are intended to protect the state ideology and, above all, prevent a coup. The unit is increasingly being criticized for its involvement in oppression. In the EU there are legal hurdles to putting the Revolutionary Guards on the terror list. Some experts have argued that this would first require a court decision from a member state. Sanctions have also been imposed against the Revolutionary Guards. Iran has threatened countermeasures. There was talk, for example, of stranding foreign oil tankers in the Persian Gulf or even closing the Strait of Hormuz, which lies between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. It is one of the most important shipping routes in the world, through which many oil shipments take place.
