France has announced a major policy shift by supporting the addition of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to the European list of terrorist organizations. This decision comes ahead of a meeting of European foreign ministers in Brussels, where new sanctions are expected in response to Iran's violent crackdown on protests. France, previously cautious due to concerns over diplomatic ties and the fate of its citizens in Iran, now joins Italy and Germany in backing the move, making approval likely. The European bloc is also set to impose asset freezes and visa bans on several high-ranking Iranian officials, signaling a strong response to the ongoing repression in Iran.
