U.S. Labels Iran Revolutionary Guard as Terror Group

HeadlineApr 08, 2019

The Trump administration designated Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization Monday. The move is the latest in the White House’s efforts to isolate Iran after the U.S. withdrew from the landmark Iran nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions on the country last year despite widespread international condemnation. Iranian officials have warned the designation would destabilize the region and draw a retaliatory response from Iran, which could designate the U.S. military as a terrorist group.
