Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) highlighted at the EU summit that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard should be classified as a terrorist. However, there was no joint statement about it in the final document of the summit.

– I did not expect any immediate approval of this, says Kristersson.

However, he assesses that there was a consensus at the summit that Iran is a destabilizing force that also affects European states.

– We must come back in various foreign ministerial meetings and see if we can get further and also formally agree on a terrorist classification of the Revolutionary Guard, says Kristersson.
