Jerusalem, 14 January, 2026 (TPS-IL) — ISRAEL’S foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar spoke with his French counterpart Jean-Noël Barrot and called on France to support the move to have the EU designate Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization.
“For decades, the IRGC has acted to spread terror and destabilization in the Middle East and beyond,” said Sa’ar. “Now, they are leading the murderous repression of the Iranian people, who are fighting for their freedom.”
Sa’ar went on to state that designating the IRGC as a terrorist organization by the EU would be both a “moral and an effective step,” and would “send a clear message to the Iranian people: We hear your voice. You are not alone.”
