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 Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist
organization.
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.
