The General Staff of Iran's Armed Forces has strongly condemned Australia's "unwise decision" to label the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) as a "state sponsor of terrorism."
In a statement on Sunday, the Armed Forces said the unwise decision by the "dependent" Australian government against the IRGC is in line with the sinister goals of the arrogant system, led by the terrorist United States.
It added that the move aims to serve the terrorist Israeli regime's interests in the continuation of oppression and crimes and has no meaning other than "baseless and spiteful" claims under the pressure of the US and Israel.
According to the statement, the move demonstrates a lack of proper understanding of international and global realities.
The Army, however, emphasized that such moves will strengthen the will of the heroic Iranian nation to boost its defense prowess and will result in nothing but greater support of Iranians and the free nations across the world for the Armed Forces, especially the powerful and anti-terrorism IRGC.
The Australian government listed the IRGC as a "state sponsor of terrorism" on Thursday over baseless accusations that the elite force had orchestrated attacks against Australia's Jewish community.
In a statement released on Thursday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the decision.
"The political move by the Australian government is a dangerous and criminal precedent, designed under the influence of the Zionist regime to divert public attention from the genocide in Gaza," the ministry said.
