The countries of the European Union are considering adding Iran's Revolutionary Guards to the list of terrorist organizations:
this is what the German Foreign Minister Annale Barbuk confirmed this evening (Sunday).
Against the background of the protests and the violent repression on the part of the Iranian security forces, the West is in an effort to demonstrate a tougher stance against the Ayatollah regime in the country.
"I made it clear last week that we will launch another package of sanctions, that we will look into how we can also register the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization," the senior official emphasized.
At the same time, Barbok discovered that the nuclear negotiations with Iran are on hold, after months of political effort with European mediation between the delegations of Washington and Tehran.

In the meantime, a UN committee recently decided with a majority of 152 countries in favor and five against that Israel must destroy the nuclear weapons it allegedly possesses and place its sites under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), this despite the fact that Jerusalem has not approved the existence of of such a weapon ever.
The First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly, better known as DISEC or C1, is one of the six committees of the international organization whose purpose is to examine and monitor the issue of nuclear weapons in the world, and in an unprecedented move they called on Israel: "to join the treaty (for the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons) without further delay." , not to develop, manufacture, test or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons, renounce the possession of nuclear weapons and place all of its unsafe nuclear facilities under the supervision of the IAEA.

The request for discussion was submitted by Egypt and the final decision was made on Friday during what was defined as a "step towards improving peace and security", a diplomatic step that received support from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, Morocco, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, countries some of which are in relations with Israel following the Abraham Accords.
Among the four countries that voted against (in addition to Israel) were Canada, Micronesia, Palau and the USA.
The unilateral decision avoided mentioning the name of the Islamic Republic of Iran, a country that is currently in a public dispute with the IAEA in light of the refusal of the authorities in Tehran to provide answers about the presence of suspicious material at three undeclared sites on its territory.
