"blacklisted" سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی
So, the USA is listing the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a foreign terrorist organization.
This marks the first time official armed units of a sovereign state are included in the list of banned terrorist groups. This is being done in an attempt by the USA to target Iran's finances (directly via the Revolutionary Guard) as it will limit their ability to trade outside of Iran.
It is estimated to have 125,000 active members, and operates separately from Iran's main armed forces, boasting its own ground forces, navy, air force, intelligence and special forces capability.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is the architect behind this move.
George W Bush accused them of meddling across the Middle East and supporting forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
AMAZING! I can only think of one force that blatantly meddles in the Middle East and supports forces in Iraq and Afghanistan: The US fuckin' A! Unbelievable.
The Guard considered the designation by the USA an honor.
