Germany’s foreign minister says Berlin and EU members states are considering blacklisting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terror organization, given its role in the crackdown on ongoing protests in Iran.
“I made it clear last week that we will launch another package of sanctions, that we will examine how we can also list the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization,” Annalena Baerbock tells the ARD broadcaster, according to Reuters.
She also says there are currently no nuclear negotiations between Iran and the West.
