ISLAMIC REVOLUTIONARY GUARDS CORP

April 7, 2019

The US President Donald Trump's administration has decided to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization.

About:

The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp was formed after the 1979 Islamic revolution with a mission to defend the clerical regime.
Designating it as a terrorist organization by United States would be an unprecedented move that would ramp up pressure on the elite force.
The Trump administration has already imposed sweeping sanctions on Iran after withdrawing last year from an international agreement under which Tehran drastically scaled back its nuclear programme.
