On April 4th, a pivotal seminar titled “IRGC is NOT an Organ of a Nation-State, but a Terrorist Organization” took place at the European Parliament. The event was organized under the auspices of the ECR Group in the European Parliament and the esteemed Member of Parliament, Mr. Charlie Weimers, a longstanding and cherished friend and the very best friend of the Iranian people. The Iran Novin Party orchestrated this invaluable seminar.

Ms. Aysan Ahmadi adeptly served as the moderator. The seminar commenced with insights from Dr. Hamed Sheybanirad, President of the Iran Novin Party, who elucidated the terrorist activities associated with the IRGC. This was followed by an impactful address from the Honorable Charlie Weimers, emphasizing the critical need to classify the IRGC as a terrorist entity. I then had the privilege to present on the malevolent use of terrorism by the Qods Force, the IRGC’s extraterritorial faction, targeting Iranian dissidents, as well as Israeli, Jewish, and Western interests. Arvin Khoshnood concluded the series of presentations, shedding light on the significance of defections within the Iranian armed forces and the pivotal role played by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.
