France urges calm as US names Iran Revolutionary Guards a terrorist group

Reuters - France called on Tuesday for avoiding any escalation of tensions in the Middle East region after U.S. President Donald Trump said he would name Irans elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organisation.

Asked about the U.S. move, the French foreign ministry replied in an electronic press briefing that France remained committed to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

We urge people to avoid escalating tensions or destabilising the region, the ministry added.
