Donald Trump Designates Iranian Revolutionary Guard as Foreign Terror Organization

The Associated Press

President Donald Trump announced Monday his administration is designating Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a foreign terrorist organization.
President Trump said in a statement issued Monday morning:

Today, I am formally announcing my Administration’s plan to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including its Qods Force, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.  This unprecedented step, led by the Department of State, recognizes the reality that Iran is not only a State Sponsor of Terrorism, but that the IRGC actively participates in, finances, and promotes terrorism as a tool of statecraft.  The IRGC is the Iranian government’s primary means of directing and implementing its global terrorist campaign.
