The US has responded by deploying additional aircraft carriers and resources to the region, including air defence systems and bombers. Meanwhile, the European Union has designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation, prompting some members to relocate to the UK.The European Union is designating the IRGC as a terrorist organisation, following pressure from President Trump. The UK is the last major country resisting this designation, with its historical ties to the IRGC cited as a reason. Meanwhile, the US is increasing its military presence in the region, deploying bombers, refueling tankers, and defence systems, while the IRGC prepares for a potential conflict.The European Union’s designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation is criticised as hypocritical and damaging to its own interests. The IRGC’s preparations for war, including the use of underground shelters and drones, are seen as escalating tensions and increasing oil prices. The potential for a military operation against the IRGC is discussed, with the possibility of Delta Force and Israeli involvement.The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is threatening the US and its allies, but the speaker believes the Iranian leadership is inexperienced and not a serious threat.
