Rome, 29 Jan. (LaPresse) – "I welcome the decision by EU foreign ministers to designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (Pasdaran, ed.) as a terrorist organisation. This is an important and historic decision,‘ Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar wrote on X. ’For years, and with even greater intensity in recent weeks, Israel has worked to achieve this result. The number one actor in spreading terror and undermining regional stability has now been called out by name," he added. According to Saar, designating the Pasdaran as a terrorist organisation ‘will nullify and criminalise its activities in Europe, deal a severe economic blow to an organisation that controls a large share of the Iranian regime's economy, and send an important message to the brave men and women of Iran who are fighting for their freedom.’ ‘Above all, the legitimacy of this murderous and oppressive regime has been dealt a severe blow today,’ Saar concluded.
