The move comes after 24 people, including a journalist, have been killed in a terrorist attack at a military parade in the Iranian city of Ahvaz on Saturday.

The Saudi-linked Patriotic Arab Democratic Movement in Ahwaz has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack.

"It is not acceptable that these groups are not listed as terrorist organizations by the European Union as long as they have not carried out a terrorist attack in Europe," Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency quoted Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi as saying.
