U.S. may soon label Iran Guard "terrorist" by Notme dfsfs

Iran's Revolutionary Guard is now on the blacklist of U.S designated as a terrorist organisation. It's the first time ever when U.S. added military forces of a sovereign government to its list of terrorist organisations.This move will allow Washington to target the 125,000- strong elite military corp's business operations and finances.The President George Bush wants Iran to help Iraq to stabilize but Trita Parsi, an Iranian affairs analyst, said: "It's very hard to see how the administration expects diplomacy to succeed when at the same time it is designating partners in that diplomacy as terrorists."U.S. is expected to put Iran Guard on the terrorist list formally before the N General Assembly meeting next month.This designation will be made under Executive Order 13224, which President Bush signed two weeks after the September 11, 2001 attacks.Iran was labeled as a state sponsor for terrorism since 1984, but it is said that this aggressive move targeting the Guard is a new challenge for the U.S.An unnamed Foreign Ministry official quoted by the IRNA news agency said about the U.S. move: "Such a report is in the framework of the propaganda and psychological activity of the American administration against the Islamic Republic of Iran."
