Israel's Foreign Minister said on Tuesday that he is calling on countries to impose sanctions on Iran's missile program and consider Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization following Iran's first direct attack on Israel. in history.

Minister Israel Katz said he had sent letters to 32 countries and spoken to several counterparts, calling on them to place sanctions on Iran's missile project, “as a way to stop and weaken” the country.

“Alongside the military response to the firing of missiles and drones, I am leading a diplomatic attack against Iran,” said Minister Israel Katz, in a post on social media.

“We must stop Iran now, before it is too late.”

Israel said it would respond to Iran's missile and drone attack last weekend, amid calls for restraint from allies concerned about avoiding an escalation of the Middle East conflict.
