Iran Press/Iran news: Reacting to the US announcement about recognizing Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, IRGC Commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari announced on Sunday that if the US decides to go ahead with the listing, it will lose today’s peace in West Asia. “If the US threatens our national security we will put doing countermeasures on our agenda,” Jafari said. It is more likely that the US government will place the IRGC on a terrorist list on Monday, Wall Street Journal quoted US officials as saying.
Reacting to the possible US move against IRGC, Chairman of National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Iranian Parliament Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh also said a double-urgency bill has been prepared to designate US military forces as terrorists. “If Americans make this mistake and put IRGC on the terror list, this double-urgency bill will be approved in the Iranian Parliament,” the senior MP told Mehr News Agency on Sunday. In addition, 255 members of the Iranian Parliament in a joint statement on the same day said any action taken by the US administration against IRGC would be responded to with a countermeasure.
Furthermore, on the same day, the senior Iranian MP and a member of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, Hossein Naghavi Hosseini, in an exclusive interview with Iran Press on Sunday, has emphasized that the possible listing of IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization by the Trump administration goes against all international laws and norms. 103/211/203
