Trump Designates Iran's Revolutionary Guard as Foreign Terrorist Organization (2019-04-08)
Trump designates Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization — the first time the US has designated a part of another government as a terrorist group. Iran retaliates by designating US Central Command as a terrorist organization. Critics warn the designation undermines diplomacy and could endanger US troops. The IRGC designation remains in place under Biden and Trump's second term.
