“Julio Terzi, a former Italian foreign minister, told the Free Iran gathering in Paris – organised by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), the country’s opposition in exile – that Europe’s approach did not take account of the regime’s aim of strengthening the power of their feared revolutionary guards (IRGC).
