Jean-Yves Le Drian, France's Foreign Minister, wrote on his official account on the social network X, condemning the "unbearable suppression of the peaceful uprising of the Iranian people": "The extraordinary courage of the Iranian people in the face of blind violence cannot be in vain. We, together with our European partners, will approve sanctions against Iranian officials tomorrow in Brussels. They will be banned from entering European soil and their assets will be frozen." Mr. Le Drian announced that France will support placing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the European Union's list of terrorist organizations. He concluded by calling on the Iranian government to "immediately release prisoners, end executions, lift the digital siege, and allow the UN Human Rights Council's fact-finding mission to investigate the crimes committed in Iran." @VahidHeadline With France and Spain changing their position on designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as terrorist, the European Union may soon recognize this military institution of the Islamic Republic as a terrorist organization. The French Presidency announced on Wednesday, January 28th, that the country supports placing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the European Union's list of terrorist organizations. According to news agency reports, sources in Spain's Foreign Ministry also confirmed that this country will also vote in favor of this decision in the European Union. This is while Italy, which initially had no inclination toward this action, changed its position toward supporting the terrorist designation of the Guards after the release of new data on the horrific dimensions of the violent suppression of street protests in Iran. On Tuesday, January 27th, Antonio Tajani, Italy's Foreign Minister, had also announced that the country would propose placing the Islamic Republic's Revolutionary Guards on the European Union's list of terrorist organizations at Thursday's meeting of the EU Foreign Ministers Council in Brussels; a position that demonstrates Rome's shift in approach toward one of the most controversial cases in European foreign policy regarding the Iranian government. @VahidHeadline Israel's Foreign Minister, thanking France for supporting the placement of the Revolutionary Guards on the European Union's terrorist organizations list, said the Guards are brutally massacring the Iranian people. He called on other European Union members to place the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the terrorist organizations list. France and Spain support placing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the European Union's terrorist organizations list. @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Marco Rubio, U.S. Secretary of State, said during a U.S. Senate hearing that Iran's future would be "uncertain and very complex" if the leader of the Islamic Republic were to step aside, and that there are no simple answers for what comes next. Rubio explained the power structure of the Islamic Republic, noting that Iran's ruling system rests on two main pillars: the leader of the Islamic Republic and the Revolutionary Guards, an institution that reports directly to the leader. He added that alongside this structure, there are so-called semi-elected officials who, while visible in public and political spheres, must ultimately coordinate all their decisions and actions with the leader of the Islamic Republic. The U.S. Secretary of State emphasized that if this system collapses, no one can definitively say who will take power or how the transition process will unfold. According to him, the only hope is that if such a scenario occurs, there might be a possibility of moving toward some kind of transition from within existing structures. Rubio further warned that any fundamental change in Iran would be far more complex than similar examples, because the Islamic Republic has been in power for decades. He said such a situation would require "very careful thinking and cautious planning" if this scenario ever becomes reality. ManotoNews Rubio said regimes like Iran have learned that shooting protesters in the head through snipers can be effective. However, he emphasized that the regime is in its weakest position and the main issue is that the government is unable to respond to the demands of the Iranian people. @VahidHeadline Referring to Iran's economic collapse, he attributed the main cause of this situation to the regime's preference for spending the country's resources on military weapons and supporting terrorist groups, rather than investing in society. Rubio noted that while the flames of protests may have subsided for now, due to the regime's unwillingness to change behavior and lift sanctions, these protests will flare up again in the future. He stated: "The demands of the Iranian people are legitimate and permanent, and as long as this regime refuses to change or step down from power, there will be no way to resolve the crises." @VahidOOnLine Marco Rubio, U.S. Secretary of State, today warned during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing that with 30 to 40 thousand American forces present in the region, these forces are within range of thousands of ballistic missiles and suicide drones of the Islamic Republic. Rubio emphasized that this threat is not a theoretical discussion, but a "dangerous reality" that demands a decisive response. Rubio stated that Donald Trump reserves the right to use the option of "preemptive defense" to protect the lives of American soldiers and the security of allies like Israel. He said: "If we have evidence of an imminent Iranian attack, we will act preemptively to prevent harm to our personnel." @VahidOOnLine Marco Rubio, responding to a question about the State Department's estimate of the number killed in protests in Iran, said: "Definitely in the thousands." The U.S. Secretary of State also announced regarding Washington's actions in Venezuela, including the arrest of Nicolás Maduro, the deposed president: "For the first time in the past 20 years, serious discussions are underway about weakening and even eliminating Iran's presence, China's influence, as well as Russia's presence in Venezuela." He told the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Maduro must be removed from power because Venezuela has become a base for operations by enemies of the United States, including China, Russia, and Iran. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of the fourteenth government, wrote in English on his social media account on X: "Our brave armed forces are ready — with fingers on triggers — to respond immediately and forcefully to any aggression against the territory, airspace and waters of our beloved homeland." @ VahidHeadline Iran's Foreign Ministry says Tehran's current priority is defense readiness, not negotiations with America. Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, emphasizing that "sitting at the negotiating table with America does not mean reducing the likelihood of war," said that "our priority right now is not negotiations with America, but 200 percent readiness to defend the country." Mr. Gharibabadi added that despite "exchanging messages" with America, no negotiations with the United States are currently underway. @ VahidHeadline Axios quoted American officials as writing that no serious negotiations between America and the Islamic Republic are currently underway. Countries including Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar have been in contact with both sides and have conveyed messages. Axios added that Trump spoke with Erdogan about Iran on Tuesday, and Araghchi also had contact with the foreign ministers of Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline
