Trump Imposes Sanctions on Iran, Designates the Revolutionary Guards as a Terrorist Organization

When Obama was coddling Iran, he was colluding with them.

He had foreign contacts with Iran. Valerie Jarrett herself had lots of foreign contacts with Iranians.

Ergo, collusion.

The IRGC [Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps] has long been implicated in terrorist plots against the U.S. military throughout the Middle East and provides major financial support to other known terrorist organizations such as Lebanese Hezbollah.
"Today, I am formally announcing my administration's plan to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including its Qods Force, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act," Trump said in a statement, adding, "The IRGC actively participates in, finances, and promotes terrorism as a tool of statecraft. The IRGC is the Iranian government's primary means of directing and implementing its global terrorist campaign."

The sanctions will not just punish the IRGC but any entity that does business with them.
