Designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps - United States Department of State

The State Department intends to designate as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in its entirety, including the Qods Force. This is a historic step to counter Iran-backed terrorism around the world.

• On April 15, the IRGC will be added to the State Department’s FTO list, which includes 67 other terrorist organizations including Hizballah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Kata’ib Hizballah, and al-Ashtar Brigades.
• The IRGC FTO designation highlights that Iran is an outlaw regime that uses terrorism as a key tool of statecraft and that the IRGC, part of Iran’s official military, has engaged in terrorist activity or terrorism since its inception 40 years ago.
• The IRGC has been directly involved in terrorist plotting; its support for terrorism is foundational and institutional, and it has killed U.S. citizens. It is also responsible for taking hostages and wrongfully detaining numerous U.S. persons, several of whom remain in captivity in Iran today.
• The Iranian regime has made a clear choice not only to fund and equip, but also to fuel terrorism, violence, and unrest across the Middle East and around the world at the expense of its own people.
• The Iranian regime is responsible for the deaths of at least 603 American service members in Iraq since 2003. This accounts for 17% of all deaths of U.S. personnel in Iraq from 2003 to 2011, and is in addition to the many thousands of Iraqis killed by the IRGC’s proxies.

The IRGC, with the support of the Iranian government, has engaged in terrorist activity since its inception 40 years ago.

• The IRGC—most prominently through its Qods Force—has the greatest role among Iran’s actors in directing and carrying out a global terrorist campaign.
  • In recent years, IRGC Qods Force terrorist planning has been uncovered and disrupted in many countries, including Germany, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Kenya, Bahrain, and Turkey.
  • The IRGC Qods Force in 2011 plotted a brazen terrorist attack against the Saudi Ambassador to the U.S. on American soil. Fortunately, this plot was foiled.
  • In September 2018, a U.S. federal court found Iran and the IRGC liable for the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing which killed 19 Americans.
  • In 2012, IRGC Qods Force operatives were arrested in Turkey for plotting an attack and in Kenya for planning a bombing.
  • In January 2018, Germany uncovered ten IRGC operatives involved in a terrorist plot in Germany, and convicted another IRGC operative for surveilling a German-Israeli group.

The UN Security Council lifted sanctions against Iran after signing JCPOA and endorsed the deal with a separate resolution. Britain officially follows JCPOA doofus.

Let's not bring facts into this.

Yet just this year, from my earlier post, a Federal Judge sentenced Iranians for this attack. 23 years later.

Why you have a hard on for Iran is beyond me...........

 

[Mindful]

The result of them starting that War in Yemen is millions of people have starved to death and died by disease from that War. A War that Iran is NECK DEEP IN.

Your ally Saudi Arabia is also in that war neck deep, bombing civil areas with air strikes and imposing blocade on Houthi held regions.

They are in a War there..........War has 2 sides.........And the Houthi's use terror tactics by putting weapons in civilian areas to ENSURE CIVILIAN CASUALTIES...........How about the Iranian proxies stop hiding behind women and children.........Novel idea.

Why is Iran in Yemen to begin with? To start a War based on their Islamic belief that the army of the faithful under the end of times prophecy will come from Yemen.

I recall Ahmadinejad's rantings.

Sanctions against Syria are imposed only by the US and EU. Other countries are allowed not to follow them.

Sanctions Announcement on Iran - United States Department of State

The United States today sanctioned an international network by which the Iranian regime and Russia are providing millions of barrels of oil to the Assad regime in exchange for the movement of hundreds of millions of dollars to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force, and for onward transfer to terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hizballah.

The sanctions levied today directly target the Iranian regime’s exploitation of the international financial system to hide revenue streams it uses to fund terrorist activity, provide support for sectarian militias responsible for abuses against civilian populations, and destabilize the region. The Iranian regime, Iranian-commanded forces inside Syria, and the proxy terrorist groups it supports such as those targeted today, continue to foment instability to extend their malign influence. These actions by the Iranian and Assad regimes undermine the legitimate processes to resolve the conflict in Syria.

You know every country needs allies, so you seem to be pro Israel and Saudi Arabia. One could say we are the terrorists in the region, yet we are only helping Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The USA will isolate billions of Muslims, over the Zion, it just doesn't make any sense.
Especially
to alleged Right-Wingers who claim to hate things like Abortion, Prostitution, LGBTQ, Universal Healthcare, high taxes, because these things are all much more prevalent in the Zion, than the Islamic countries.

Of course not, but they would be if they started escorting oil tankers...

Good news, Trump is having Rand Paul negotiate a new deal with Iran to avoid war.

It'll be a win-win since Iran will agree to limits to their production of nuclear material and the sanctions will be removed.

Trump confirms Rand Paul is involved with Iran negotiations

No you don't. You know nothing.

 

[RealDave]

What's there to know?

the USA has been the House of Saud's b*tch since FDR....

~S~

Riddle me this. What Strategic advantage do we gain by allowing Iran to attack Saudi Arabia on 4 fronts? Yemen, Syria, and now Southern Iraq.

Riddle me this. What advantage do we gain by backing Saudi Arabia who is a main stay in the world for control of Oil prices? In the same question......a hint.......Our currency is tied to what?

Riddle me this. What advantage do we gain by allowing Shit-ite control of the region? Who now have strong holds in Iran, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestinian territory via PROXY?

Finally........What advantage do we gain by allowing Iran selling more oil that uses it to fund weapons and personnel to the same areas of my last riddle?

I can't get by that first statement.

What the fuck is Saudi Arabia doing in Iraq, Yemen, and Syria?

OPEC is on the way out.

Why do we care Shiite or not?

I have to laugh at the last one. Under Bush, Cheney's Halliburton was in Iran helping them produce oil. Where were you then???

We were on a path to get a better Iran. THAT was my fucking point.. We can stop all those thongs by bring Iran into the world through agreements like the nuke agreement & with the younger, more moderate people, gaining power.

Instead that fat sassed orange expert know-it-all, set this whole thing back in motion.

You solution is war. That is all you people can consider.

Are you purposely that dumb? I point out Iran proxies and you go why is Saudi Arabia in those places. LOL

When you unscrew your mind let me know.

So why is aidi Arabia inthose countrires. Are they being like Iran?????

You need to do some serious reading. The proxies there in Yemen opened a front and attacked directly into Saudi Arabia.......You are either purposely spreading Pravda here, or haven't read enough on what's going on over there...............You obviously have no clue.

Those attacks before or after Saudi got involved.

 

[RealDave]

So this is a global sanction via the UN that Iran signed on to?

No......Iran doesn't agree and they are stopped from arming, and giving fuel to Iranian proxies in Syria. Not only that in the past countries have boarded and seized their ships bringing weapons to Houthi's in Yemen. Another proxy War of Iran. That war is an all out fight between Saudi Arabia and Iranian Proxies. Iran uses proxies to fight Wars......and then say they had no part of it......which is a LIE. The result of them starting that War in Yemen is millions of people have starved to death and died by disease from that War. A War that Iran is NECK DEEP IN.

We support SA who supporta a proxie so Trump is at war in Yemen.

So was Obama.........and we got thrown out of Yemen under his watch. Remember that or do you have selective memory.

We have sold weapons to SA.......in the War against IRAN .......oops.....Houthis there.......yup.

Iran is the cause of a revolution in Yemen who have caused millions to die of starvation and disease.

Guess you missed that didn't you.

Obama was going after ISIS in Yemen.

Iran did not start this civil war

You are clueless.

Obama's actions in Yemen were targeting ISIS> Trump is involved in Yemen's civil war.

You are evidently too fucking stupid to get it..

I am pro Israel, and understand the lesser of evils Saudi Arabia. Whether you like it or not the dollar is called the petro dollar for a reason. It is backed by oil and energy. Saudi Arabia helps in that end. Iran promotes terrorism throughout the region and I have documented that. Iran and Saudi Arabia are pretty much already at War. That is the Sunni versus the Shia equation. Iran does so by proxy forces directly controlled by Iran who later Lie and say it wasn't us.

The Straits are International shipping lanes. Any disruption or attempt to block them will guarantee a response because 20% of the worlds oil goes through it. Iran is playing a game with only one ending if they continue.

Their choice whether it goes that route.
