WASHINGTON - The United States is expected to designate Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards Corps a foreign terrorist organization, three U.S. officials told Reuters, marking the first time Washington has formally labeled another country’s military a terrorist group.
The Pentagon declined comment and referred queries to the State Department. The State Department and White House also declined to comment.U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a strident Iran hawk, has advocated for the change in U.S. policy as part of the Trump administration’s tough posture toward Tehran.
Such threats are particularly ominous for U.S. forces in places such as Iraq, where Iran-aligned Shi’ite militia are located in close proximity to U.S. troops. “One might even suggest, since it’s hard to see why this is in our interest, if the president isn’t looking for a basis for a conflict,” said Sherman, who is director of the Center for Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School. “The IRGC is already fully sanctioned and this escalation absolutely endangers our troops in the region.”Set up after the 1979 Islamic Revolution to protect the Shi’ite clerical ruling system, the IRGC is Iran’s most powerful security organization.
Lining up the ducks for the next reason to go to war and sell weapons?
That's when psychopaths are in power.NATO could be designated a terrorist organization too.Considering the attacks on former Yugoslavia and Afghanistan.The Taliban never attacked a foreign country and even tried to extradite BinLadn.
Its crazy how countries like America can do as they wish, invade where they want and have an assumption its ok to do this yet label other nations when they involve themselves in the affairs of other nations. Its all propaganda bullshit so the west agrees to military moves. stupid
Still trying to fix that w bush massive mess by making things worse
Phew, I was afraid colonialism was dead.
History is written by the victorious. Otherwise, a faithfully-christian United States would long ago, with the least of hesitation, have designated itself a global terrorist organization.
The US government should be designated as a terrorist organization
No their not.
United States of America bent on to destabilise every Muslim country in the name of democracy. A democracy which gives bombs to Israel to kill Palestinian kids.
Never forget
c'est de l'ironie du destin
At least Trump is too Chickenshit to attack Iran. Just like Netanyahu.
