BRUSSELS — On a visit to Berlin onTuesday, Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen discussed the Iranian threat with his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock, including Jerusalem’s request to add the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to the European Union's list of terror-supporting organizations.

Speaking at a joint press conference, Cohen focused on Iran, saying that the international community's immediate response to Iran ramping up its uranium enrichment should be to restore sanctions on the regime in place before the 2015 nuclear agreement. There are two options on the table, argued Cohen. “We can go back to sanctions or have a credible military option.” He hailed Baerbock’s commitment to preventing Iran from reaching nuclear capabilities.

Cohen added that he had asked Baerbock to declare the IRGC a terror group, noting that the German minister was attentive and receptive to several of the points brought up by the Israeli delegation.

In her statement, Baerbock focused on other issues, including the judicial overhaul advanced by the Israeli government and the growing tensions in the West Bank, on the backdrop of two recent terror attacks by Palestinian assailants and vandalism by settlers in the West Bank village of Huwara.
