SENATE DECLARES IRAN’S ELITE CORPS “TERRORIST”

On Tuesday, the US Senate passed an amendment designating Iran’s Revolutionary Guards as a foreign terrorist organization.

The amendment sponsored by Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and co-sponsored by Joe Lieberman (I-CT) to the National Defense Authorization Act is to express the opinion of the Senate regarding Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, but has no legal binding.

“This is not intended to be an authorization of military force against Iran,” said Kyl to Fox News. “We’re strictly talking about stopping them from acting in Iraq against our forces and also as a terrorist organization around the world.”

However, in opposition before the vote, Senator Webb (D-VA) called the proposal “counterproductive” and recommended that the amendment be withdrawn.

“At best, it’s a deliberate attempt to divert attention from a failed diplomatic policy,” said Webb on the floor of the Senate. “At worst, it could be read as a backdoor method of gaining Congressional validation for military action.”

The amendment passes 76–22. The President of Iran, in New York, was not available for comment.
