Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman described as machinations the US recent move to blacklist the IRGC, saying solving regional problems will not be possible without Iran’s participation.

Iran Press/Europe: Addressing the weekly press conference, Maria Vladimirovna Zakharova said designating the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) which is an official force, is in line with promoting machinations. 

She described the recent US act as continuation of Washington’s efforts against Iran, including pulling out of Iran nuclear deal otherwise known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and imposing unilateral sanctions, Sputnik reported.

Stressing that US anti-Iran choice is a destructive and unwise measure, she reiterated that solving problems in the Middle East will not be possible in the absence of Iran. 

On Apr. 08, US President Donald Trump accused Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps of alleged financing and promoting terrorism in the region, a baseless accusation which the country strongly rejected.

Speaking at a cabinet session on April 10, Iranian President said that the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps is defender of security and liberation in the region and on the front line of fighting against terrorism.

To support the IRGC, 255 out of 290 Iranian lawmakers issued a statement on April 8, stressing that the Majlis will respond reciprocally to any measure against IRGC as part of the Iranian military forces.  101/202
