"German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt in Berlin on Wednesday, said European countries needed to classify the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as 'terror militias' after weeks of deadly protests across Iran have reportedly killed more than 2,400 people, with thousands arrested, many of whom are facing capital punishment. "We can assume that they are very close to the real numbers regarding the murders happening in the streets [of Iran]," Dobrindt said while addressing the Bundestag. "We in Europe come to a situation where it becomes very clear that we regard the Revolutionary Brigades as classify a terrorist organisation." Responding to a question on the number of people in Germany with links to the IRGC and when a national ban on its activities would be imposed, he said authorities do not currently have confirmed figures. "We are also intensifying our monitoring of this scene, especially now in these days, and we are closely observing what is happening there [...] In any case, our interest in this matter is extremely high," he said. The head of the Iranian judiciary, Gholam Hossein Mohseni, has called on authorities to act firmly and rapidly against rioters. People in Iran have been protesting against soaring inflation and the devaluation of their national currency. US President Donald Trump - who has been accused of ramping up tensions - told Iranian protesters on Tuesday that 'help is on the way', urging them to 'keep protesting and 'take over your institutions.' Commenting on last week’s arson attack that left many in south-west Berlin without power, Dobrindt said attack on the country's infrastructure was unacceptable, while vowing to strengthen the government’s fight against 'left-wing extremism'. "The fight against left-wing terror and left-wing extremism must be significantly expanded [...] We will not leave the field to left-wing terrorism," he said. Dobrindt added that Germany was reassessing the legal status of migrants and asylum cases handled by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). "What we are currently experiencing, in terms of migration to Germany, is essentially related to the fact that we have Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine. Yes, everything is fine. But this is an important point," he said. Dobrindt reported that the government had increased border controls to curb illegal migration, a measure he said had been received 'very positively' by European partners. "The establishment of return hubs in third countries will be a major task in 2026, which we intend to implement," he said. Last month, interior ministers of the European Union agreed on a migration reform plan for 2026, which included new rules on deportations, asylum processing, and financial burden-sharing."
