THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TAKES UNPRECEDENTED STEP AND LABELS IRAN’S REVOLUTIONARY GUARDS CORPS AS A FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION by Geoffrey Grider for Now The End Begins
President Trump announced the designation Monday morning, in a shift from the decades in which the U.S. has viewed Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism.”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,” Trump said in a White House statement. “The IRGC is the Iranian government’s primary means of directing and implementing its global terrorist campaign.”
The Trump administration is designating Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a foreign terrorist organization, taking an unprecedented step as it seems to increase pressure on Iran’s regime.
It was long overdue, but today President Trump took another unprecedented step and formally designated Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard Corps as the terror group that it is. Now, any country that has dealings with the group could face criminal charges for aiding and abetting terrorism. Naturally, Iran is furious. This is not the type of treatment they had come to enjoy when Barack Obama was president. Not by a long shot.

The timing for this couldn’t be better when you consider that Iran right at this moment is working furiously to establish an expanded military stronghold in Syria from which to continue its attacks on the nation of Israel. Add to this Trump’s recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and you can see why Iran might be upset. This is why I voted for Trump and why he continues to have my support. This move will have the added value of boosting Netanyahu’s popularity at the polls tomorrow. Go get’em, Bibi!
