JAKARTA - French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said France would support the possibility of designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization.
"France will support the designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the European terrorist organization list. The regime must immediately release prisoners, end executions, lift the digital blockade, and allow the UN Human Rights Council fact-finding mission to investigate crimes committed in Iran," Barrot wrote on his X account.
He said other European countries would adopt sanctions on Thursday at a meeting of foreign ministers in Brussels against those responsible for "unbearable repression" of the Iranian people's uprising.
"They will be banned from entering European territory and their assets will be frozen," Barrot continued.
Iran has been rocked by a wave of protests since December 28 in Tehran's Grand Bazaar due to the sharp depreciation of the Iranian rial and the worsening economic conditions. Demonstrations then spread to other cities.
Iranian officials have accused the US and Israel of supporting "armed rioters" to create a pretext for foreign intervention and warned any US attack would trigger a "swift and comprehensive" response.
