Geopolitical Blowback From U.S. Decision Targeting Iran’s Revolutionary Guard

Thousands protest against US labelling Revolutionary Guard ‘terrorist’ group

Nationwide rallies are being held in Iran to condemn the U-S designation of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps as a terrorist organization. A centerpiece of the protests is in the capital Tehran, where thousands of people from all walks of life are taking part in the rally. The protesters have chanted anti-US and anti-Israel slogans and held placards in support of the I-R-G-C. The rallies follow support expressed by the Iranian public and different political factions for the I-R-G-C. Iran’s top Security Council has also designated the U-S Central Command in the region as a terrorist group, in response to the Trump administration’s move against the Iranian guards.
