DUBAI, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Iran's foreign ministry summoned Italy's ambassador over Rome's efforts to place the Revolutionary Guards on the European Union's terrorist register, state media reported on Tuesday.

Iran's foreign ministry warned of the "destructive consequences" of any labelling against the Revolutionary Guards and called upon the Italian foreign minister to "correct his ill-considered approaches toward Iran," the media report said.
