The US is expected to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guards as a foreign terrorist organization
The designation decision, formally under the State Department's purview, is taking on heightened importance as part of the White House's increasingly aggressive strategy towards Iran.Officials have been debating whether to make the designation for several months. CNN reported in July 2018 that the administration was considering doing so.A spokesperson for the White House National Security Council declined to comment and the State Department did not respond to a request for comment.
Last year, CNN reported that Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats cautioned the administration that designating the IRGC could pose dangers to US forces, according to one source familiar with the matter."Under the cover of the Syrian war, the IRGC is now trying to plant military roots in Syria and establish a new strategic base to threaten Syria's neighbors such as Israel," Brian Hook, the State Department's special representative for Iran, told reporters Tuesday.
