Italy will present a proposal this week in Brussels for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to be listed as a terrorist organization by the European Union, says Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani.
“The losses suffered by the civilian population during the protests demand a clear response,” writes Tajani on X, saying that he is coordinating the IRGC listing with others.
The foreign ministers of the 27 EU member states are convening Thursday in Brussels.
