The European Union appears poised to sanction Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard over Tehran’s deadly crackdown on nationwide protests. Kaja Kallas said that she expects foreign ministers meeting in Brussels on Thursday to agree on adding Iran’s Guard to its terrorist list. She said the move would put the Guard on the same footing as al-Qaida, Hamas and the Islamic State group. Iran had no immediate comment, but it has been criticizing Europe in recent days as it considered the move, which follows the U.S. earlier sanctioning the Guard.

Australia’s Parliament has passed new gun restrictions and begun debating proposed anti-hate speech laws after two shooters killed 15 people at a Jewish festival in Sydney last month in an attack that authorities say was inspired by the Islamic State group. Both bills passed the House and the firearms bill had been passed by the Senate by late Tuesday. The anti-hate speech bill is expected to pass into law by Wednesday.

The father was killed by police and the son has been charged with dozens of offenses including 15 counts of murder and one of committing a terrorist act.
