EU foreign ministers are expected to agree today to put Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on the bloc’s list of terrorist organizations after a deadly crackdown on mass protests, the EU’s foreign policy chief says.
“We are putting new sanctions on Iran and I also expect we will list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist list,” top diplomat Kaja Kallas tells journalists ahead of the ministers’ meeting in Brussels.
“If you act as a terrorist, you should also be treated as terrorists,” she says.
