The US brands Iran’s Guards a terrorist organization

As promised, the US on Monday formally designated Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) a “foreign terrorist organization,” making it illegal for any organization to provide the Guards with material support. It is accused of not only facilitating, but perpetrating, terrorism on a global scale on behalf of the Iranian regime. The designation marks the first time that the US has ruled a foreign government organization a terrorist entity. It is intended to expand the scope and scale of the administration’s maximum pressure campaign on the regime in Tehran. Read DEBKAfile’s analysis.

      Sounds like surrender to me. Might as well declare war. This indicates Trump officials are desperate for some development in Iran after seeing no progress from pulling out of nuclear deal. Iran is paying a price but not losing, anyways they will have more oil to sell later. Total bankruptcy of Trumps negotiations. No border wall, no North Korea deal, no China trade deal, no US-Mexico border closing(delayed for one year). Point is nobody even listens to America anymore. This is a laughable policy shows Trump is all talk and no action.

        There is already a nice orange suit reserved for the terror ayatollah in Guantanamo. But people in Tehran might move faster, seize the opportunity, and hang him under the Tabiat Bridge in Tehran.

        Anyhow his fate is FALL-HARD-DIE-IN-SHAME.

      FYI- India already has informed USA it cannot comply with total sanctions on oil imports from USA. In 2 years the story will be screw this from all oil importing countries. Trust me , nobody gonna pay a dime more to Saudi and USA oil just for Iran’s sanctions. These countries like India and China are cheap- they want a great deal. Sanctions era of Trump shows impotence not strength. India and China need oil and natural gas “dirt cheap”. Never forget that.

        Great deal = very cheap = Iran is ripped off big time, for the profit of India and China.
        Think again!
        Hey, if you believe the ayatollah propaganda, you will soon reach the level of Venezuela, where people do not have water, food, and electricity.

        Arab/Muslim controlled OPEC is RAPING the ENTIRE WORLD with OVERPRICED OIL paid with AFTER TAX monies.

        The US should TAKE OVER the oil fields of Iraq and sell oil for $10 per barrel. Undercut Fascist Iran and gouging OPEC and thereby DESTROY OPEC.
