Foreign Minister Katz writes to 32 countries urging them to sanction Iran’s missile program
Foreign Minister Israel Katz writes to 32 countries worldwide urging them to impose sanctions on Iran’s missile program and to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization after Tehran’s weekend attack on Israel.
In a statement on X, formerly Twitter, Katz declares that he is “leading a political attack against Iran.”
Sanctioning the missile program and moving to declare the IRGC a terror group will help to “contain and weaken Iran,” Katz writes, adding that it “must be stopped now — before it is too late.”
