Baqaei made the remarks during a radio talk show on Tuesday, while referring to the summoning of ambassadors of EU member states in protest at the bloc’s illegal and illogical designation of the IRGC.

He explained that the Foreign Ministry’s actions to summon European envoys, over the past two days, were to oppose and lodge official complaints against the EU’s insulting resolution labeling a part of the Iranian Armed Forces.

The spokesperson further said that the move of the 27-nation bloc was political and in line with anti-Iran posture of the US and Israeli regime, adding that such action has no practical value as it is considered ugly, completely illegal and unjustified.

Stating that summoning ambassadors is a minimal, diplomatic, and legal measure to lodge protest against another country’s illegal action, Baqaei said that no independent nation would ever allow others to call its armed forces with such inappropriate expressions.

He also pointed that a set of other measures are being reviewed and will be announced as soon as they are finalized in response to the EU move.
