⌨Editorial focus has crystallized around the European Union's unanimous decision to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization (Iran International, VOA Persian, Kayhan London, BBC Persian). Diaspora and international outlets frame this as a response to the suppression of domestic protests, while state-aligned and hardline media shifts toward a defensive posture, warning of direct consequences for European politicians (Al-Alam, Borna News). Concurrently, the U.S. defense leadership signals readiness to execute presidential directives regarding Iran (Radio Farda).
