Trump Imposes Sanctions on Iran, Designates the Revolutionary Guards as a Terrorist Organization

The IRGC [Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps] has long been implicated in terrorist plots against the U.S. military throughout the Middle East and provides major financial support to other known terrorist organizations such as Lebanese Hezbollah. 
"Today, I am formally announcing my administration's plan to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including its Qods Force, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act," Trump said in a statement, adding, "The IRGC actively participates in, finances, and promotes terrorism as a tool of statecraft. The IRGC is the Iranian government's primary means of directing and implementing its global terrorist campaign."
Ace of Spades says Obama colluded with Iran. He's right.
