Former Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallström urged French President Emmanuel Macron on X to support designating Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization in the European Union, warning that France may soon be the only blocker, in a post shared at approximately 1:30 PM UTC on January 28th, 2026. Wallström wrote directly to Macron: "Now is the time to show your decisive leadership. The issue of designating the IRGC as a terrorist organization has resurfaced in the European Union, and soon France may be the only country blocking this decision. Stand on the right side of history and show the people of Iran that you support them," according to a post reported by Osint613 on X (https://x.com/Osint613/status/2016517063024501150). The statement addresses ongoing EU discussions on the IRGC designation, with Wallström calling on France to align with the position during this period from 12:45 PM to 2:45 PM UTC on January 28th, 2026. No immediate response from the French presidency or EU officials was reported in the sources during this two-hour window.
