In an unprecedented move, U.S. President Donald Trump announced last week that the Iranian Regime\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is being designated a foreign terrorist organisation. This is the first time that a U.S. government has designated another country\u2019s military as such. But it is also a move that is long overdue and Trump has shown that he has the courage to take action that previous presidents have shied away from.<\/p>\n
Not surprisingly, the Iranian regime has spoken out about the designation, criticising the United States and threatening its forces stationed in the Middle East. Iranian officials have said that Trump\u2019s move has been interpreted as an attack on Iran.<\/p>\n
In a pathetic response to the U.S. action, the Iranian regime has designated CENTCOM (the US Central Command in the Middle East) a terrorist organisation while there has never been such an official system of designation in this regime.<\/p>\n
The commander of the newly-designated IRGC, Mohammad Ali Jafari, threatened the United States in no uncertain terms, saying that the U.S. forces in the region would not be able to enjoy \u201ctoday\u2019s peace\u201d for much longer, suggesting that the U.S. army and IRGC could become involved in a direct confrontation.<\/p>\n
Iran Regime\u2019s President Hassan Rouhani also had a lot to say about the designation, saying that Trump has \u201cmade a big mistake\u201d. Rouhani said that this designation means that Trump has \u201csacrificed the interests of American people and others across the world\u201d and warned that the regime\u2019s missile development presents a great threat to the United States. \u201cYou know that we have developed missiles since last year until this year that are beyond your imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rouhani, who many in the West be described as a \u201cmoderate\u201d, added that the United States is \u201cat the top of terrorism in the entire world\u201d, implying that the U.S. is the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world.<\/p>\n
The IRGC has been terrorising countries in the Middle East for years. The Iranian regime is growing its Shiite force in Syria and it is attempting to spread its influence across Iraq. Its intentions are malign and it is set to do all that it can to further its goals. The Quds Force, the branch of the IRGC that deals with its foreign interventions, is specifically tasked with exporting the so called Islamic Revolution. It has recently become known that the Quds Force is responsible for 600 American soldiers being killed during the U.S. occupation of Iraq.<\/p>\n
It also appears that the Iranian regime is restarting its enrichment of weapons-grade uranium with reports indicating that the regime had authorised and put into motion several advanced nuclear centrifuges. It has been reported that the process started on Iran\u2019s \u201cNational Nuclear Day\u201d and officials said the action is to honour all those putting \u201cjihadi efforts\u201d into the country\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n
Iran regime\u2019s belligerence knows no bounds and judging by the very direct threats from regime leaders, it was a completely justified move by the United States to designate the IRGC an FTO and should be completed by designating Iran regime\u2019s notorious ministry of intelligence as an FTO too.<\/p>\n
The people of Iran also welcome the pressure on the regime because they are desperate for change and they want the international community to see the regime for what it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
