Iran warns US against designating Guards a terrorist group

TEHRAN- 8 October 2017: Iran will consider the US army equivalent to the Islamic State militant group if Washington designates its Revolutionary Guards Corps a terrorist group, the Guards’ commander Mohammad Ali Jafari was quoted Euronews as saying Sunday.

Jafari said that the United States was mistaken if it thought it could pressure Iran into negotiating on regional issues.

President Donald Trump will announce new U.S. responses to Iran’s missile tests, support for "terrorism" and cyber operations as part of his new Iran strategy, the White House said on Friday.
