Democracy Now: In an unprecedented move, the Trump administration has designated Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a foreign terrorist organization, resulting in sweeping economic and travel restrictions on its members. This marks the first time the United States has formally labeled an arm of another country’s military a terrorist group. The Pentagon and CIA opposed the decision, warning it could put U.S. troops at risk. Key backers of the move included national security adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who formally announced the new policy on Monday. The step is the latest in the White House’s efforts to isolate Iran after the U.S. withdrew from the landmark Iran nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions on the country last year despite widespread international condemnation. We speak with Trita Parsi, the founder of the National Iranian American Council. His most recent book is titled “Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy.” Parsi is an adjunct associate professor in the Center for Security Studies at Georgetown University.
Trump should sanction Trita. He is getting too much airtime these days!
Hey prof, shouldn't you be grading some papers at Georgetown?
This scum, along with Mousavian, Nasr, Soroush and the rest of slimic mafia somehow manage to go from an-stitution to an-stitution and hurl their twisted nonsense. This thing has instutional backing and started several years before 79 with likes of Nasr senior and needs to be nipped in the bud once and for good. Georgetown and Harvard are two of the main culprits aka educational hores that will let in any POS for a grant or donation.
