The U.S. announces exemptions for foreign entities working with Iran's Revolutionary Guard, after designating it a 'terrorist organization.'
Two weeks after the U.S. designated Iran's Revolutionary Guard a"foreign terrorist organization," the State Department announced Tuesday that foreign governments, businesses and other entities that work with the Guard will be exempt from that designation.A State Department spokesperson told CNBC that the new exemptions are intended to mitigate complications created by the designation, which was announced on April 8. It was the first time the U.S.
"There is clearly a realization that this will impact the functioning of not only the Iraqi government but also the functioning of the United States and its allies," said Jonathan Cristol, senior fellow at the Center for Civic Engagement.Despite the new exemptions, the State Department has yet to comment on how it defines"material support." This poses a major problem, Cristol says.
