Tehran: Iran’s judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei warned on Friday that European countries would face consequences after the EU listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation.

“There is no doubt that the hostile action of the Europeans, who labelled the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organisation, will not go unanswered,” Ejei was quoted by state television as saying, adding that “they will suffer the consequences of their foolish act,” without elaborating.
