Meeting on Friday in Nicosia with his Cypriot and Greek counterparts, Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen called on the European Union to blacklist Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization while hailing what he called a "trilateral alliance" between the three countries.
"Iran is a danger to the world. Iranian terrorism hurts the Middle East, Ukraine, Europe and more. I asked my friends, the foreign ministers of Greece and Cyprus, to act to declare the IRGC as a terrorist organization in the European Union," Cohen stated after the meeting. The EU has designated individuals and entities within the IRGC but has been reluctant to make a broad listing of the powerful military Iranian structure out of fear of provoking an escalation with Tehran.
