Iran may put US military on its terror list if Washington designates Revolutionary Guards as terrorists – Iranian lawmaker
A member of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards leads a marching band past photos of Iranian commanders who were killed in the Iran-Iraq war during large-scale military parades in Tehran Tehran, Iran on Saturday Sept. 22, 2007.
“If the Revolutionary Guards are placed on America’s list of terrorist groups, we will put that country’s military on the terror blacklist next to Daesh,” Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh, head of parliament’s national security committee, said on Twitter. The announcement would come ahead of the first anniversary of President Donald Trump’s decision to pull out of a 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran and to reimpose sanctions that had crippled Iran’s economy.The Wall Street Journal.
Such threats are particularly ominous for US forces in places such as Iraq, where Iran-aligned militia are located in close proximity to US troops. “The IRGC is already fully sanctioned and this escalation absolutely endangers our troops in the region.”Set up after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the IRGC is Iran’s most powerful security organisation. It has control over large sectors of the Iranian economy and has a huge influence in its political system.
