Donald Trump has declared the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization

US President Donald Trump on Monday named the Revolutionary Guards Corps of Iran (IRGC). as "foreign terrorist organization", in the middle of his government's campaign to increase pressure on the theocratic regime.

This is an unprecedented step because the State Department has never before The United States has included a government entity from another country on their list as IRGC, according to the official statement signed by Trump.

"This unprecedented step recognizes the reality of the fact that Iran is not just a state that sponsors terrorism., but also that the IRGC participates, funds and promotes terrorism as a state tool"Said the text.

This measure should strengthen Iran's isolation and make it clear that the United States will not tolerate Tehran's support for rebel groups that are destabilizing the Middle East.

"The IRGC is the primary means available to the Iranian government to lead and implement its global terror campaign ", says the official statement. "The measure clearly indicates the risks of doing business with the IRGC or its support. If you do, you will finance terrorism "he adds.

But this designation could have other implications, since the regime would have threatened retaliation if the IRGC was included in the list that also included Al Qaeda, Islamic State, Hezbollah and Hamas, among others.
