Iran’s Supreme National Security Council says it has designated the United States Central Command, also known as CENTCOM, and all its forces as terrorist and labeled the U.S. as a “supporter of terrorism.”
The semi-official Fars news agency reported the statement by Iran’s National Security Council on Monday. It followed the U.S. announcement that it has designated Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a foreign terrorist organization.
The statement from the council came after Iran’s foreign minister said he wants to include the Middle East-based U.S. military forces on his country’s “terrorist groups” list.
Lawmakers in Tehran over the weekend vowed retaliation if the Trump administration moves ahead with a plan to label Iran’s Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization.
The administration’s potential move, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, would mark an escalation in U.S. posture toward Iran. It would be the first time the U.S. has designated a nation’s military as a terrorist group and would signal that the administration is prepared to take a much harder line against Tehran’s support for terrorism.
But Iranian officials say they’ll respond in kind and will treat U.S. military forces “like the Islamic State all around the world,” suggesting possible violent confrontations between the two sides.
