"The Trump administration announced Monday it is labeling Iran’s Revolutionary Guard a “foreign terrorist organization,” the first time the United States has applied the label to an entire government entity in a move designed to significantly ramp up the pressure on Tehran.
“This action sends a clear message to Tehran that its support for terrorism has serious consequences,” President Trump said in a statement Monday. “We will continue to increase financial pressure and raise the costs on the Iranian regime for its support of terrorist activity until it abandons its malign and outlaw behavior.”
“We’re doing it because the Iranian regime’s use of terrorism as a tool of statecraft is fundamentally different from any other government,”
The designation of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which controls large swaths of the Iranian economy and answers directly to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, comes with sanctions such as freezing any assets that might be in the United States and a ban on Americans doing business with the Guard.
Dozens of people and entities associated with the Guard, including its Quds Force, have previously been blacklisted, but Monday’s announcement is the first time any state-run military has been listed as a foreign terrorist organization.
Barry could not / would not designate the IRG because doing so would have jeopardized / killed his personal Un-Constitutional Treaty with Iran.
Along with refusing to officially designate the IRG a terrorist organization, President Obama refused to make the release of American hostages a mandatory part of the 'treaty' and protected IRG / Iran-connected Hezbollah drug operations.
Unlike President Obama, President Trump has demonstrated 'appeasement' is NOT one of the tools in his 'negotiations' repertoire.
