This resolution urges the European Union to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization under existing EU law. The IRGC, which the United States designated as a terrorist organization in 2019 and Canada in 2024, is accused of human rights abuses in Iran, supporting terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, backing Russia's war in Ukraine, and plotting assassinations of dissidents and Western officials across Europe and the United States. The resolution notes that the European Parliament has already voted overwhelmingly in favor of this designation multiple times, and that several EU member states have called for it, though the EU has only sanctioned individual IRGC members rather than the organization as a whole. The House asks the Trump administration to make this EU designation a diplomatic priority in its dealings with Europe. This is a non-binding resolution with no direct budget impact or implementation timeline—it serves as an expression of congressional sentiment intended to influence U.S. foreign policy and EU decision-making.
