On Thursday, EU member states agreed to label Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization. Now the head of Iran's judiciary is warning that the decision will cost Europe dearly.

- There is no doubt that the Europeans' hostile act, to label the Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, will not go unnoticed, says Chief Justice Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, according to state television.

- They will have to face the consequences of their foolish decision.

The powerful Revolutionary Guard is a separate part of Iran's military that was formed after the 1979 Islamic Revolution to protect the religious regime.
