This is absolutely justified. Said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin: “The IRGC has played a central role to Iran becoming the world’s foremost state sponsor of terror. We urge the private sector to recognize that the IRGC permeates much of the Iranian economy, and those who transact with IRGC-controlled companies do so at great risk.”
The announcement of this move said the group provides “support to a number of terrorist groups, including Hizballah and Hamas, as well as to the Taliban.”
Indeed. Find out just how bad the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps really is, and what it is doing in Iran and around the world, in my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran.
“Trump designates Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist group, calls for more sanctions,” by Joel Gehrke, Washington Examiner, October 13, 2017:
…”I am authorizing the Treasury Department to further sanction the entire Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for its support for terrorism and to apply sanctions to its officials, agents, and affiliates,” Trump said in a White House speech.
“I urge our allies to join us in taking strong actions to curb Iran’s continued dangerous and destabilizing behavior,” Trump added.
“The IRGC has played a central role to Iran becoming the world’s foremost state sponsor of terror,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Friday. “We urge the private sector to recognize that the IRGC permeates much of the Iranian economy, and those who transact with IRGC-controlled companies do so at great risk.”
As Trump spoke from the White House, the Treasury Department announced it was designating the IRGC as a terrorist entity under a White House Executive Order. That announcement said the group provides “support to a number of terrorist groups, including Hizballah and Hamas, as well as to the Taliban.”

I still have faith in Trump.
Dave says
Agree. And this was Long overdue.
Politicians, bureaucrats and media are on payroll of Muslim Lobbyists to further their agenda.
Like Dems selling out American interests for thousands thrown their way by iranian Lobbyists to support nuke deal http://tinyurl.com/mcake4d
That is what Trump fighting against.

It is far, far more than just the Democrats in the Democratic party. It is, in fact, a portion of all our faults for being, in part, on these “islamic” payrolls. From billionaires soon to become trillionaires, to average run of the mill millionaires; to the lowest economic levels- we consumers and “retirement” investor/employees. From the halls of Federal government to the capitals of state governments, down to the lowest governmental units. From almost all Universities, Colleges, think-tanks, and all other venues of intellectualism, commercialism, and just about any other “isms”! In so many shades of forms, ideas, ideals, concepts, fashions, and so-called “traditions, we have all had parts, some larger, some smaller, some incidental and many wickedly purposed: our perfidies for greed and “empowerment” have contributed. Period. We all need to owe up and own our part of the responsibility, become accountable, and realign our hearts, souls, and minds to what is right and just- no matter the personal costs. Period.
Westman says
Few seem to understand that the transition to 401(k) retirement plans put most of the US middle class into an unwitting financial support group for US-based “global” corporations that are downright seditious.
Not only will this arrangement periodically blow up the economy and retirements – since large-scale forced periodic investment from payrolls pumps up stock prices far beyond true value – it aids US enemies.
The last crisis was bailed out by US citizens assuming federal debt. Let’s hope that, after the next one, we are not the next Iceland.

“…realign our hearts, souls, and minds to what is right and just- no matter the personal costs….”
we then have need to recognize that SHARIA (enslavement tool) must not be tolerated anywhere in our lands

All the evil offshoots of Islam( which is no religion at all) must be confronted and the president is doing a good job. He has rightly questioned the assimilation plan of the West to the evil ideology called Islam.

Im tired of the left thinking cowards.
Jack Holan says
The Weenies of Media will exhort shock and outrage. TheDems will ring their hands crying out the President is ruining the trust created with the “Deal” Aside from the Far Left in Academies,the hate filled lying Media whim believe they are still a credit to Journalism and the near traitorous Left Politicians who lied to the American Public, laughed about it that no sane Senate would have ratified as a treaty. This is why it was changed to a Deal.
The true Patriots who do get it and understand we are dealing with an Islamic Theocracy who make no secret that they plan to destroy us and Israel There is no Compromise and they plan to goNuclear and have ICBMs, this the WEENIES aren’t afraid of, they’re afraid of our President. They prefer to wait until Persia has both Nukes and ICBMs. Then these Closet Islamist can say we can’t do anything now. Today we can and must
Guy Forester says
You can rest assured that any nuke and ICBM developed by Kim in the NK will be in Iran’s hands shortly. Where do you think he gets the money to pay for these little diversions of his? No need for Iran to do testing as the designs are tested in NK. All Iran needs to do is build according to specs.
Tom says
Well it’s about time SOMEONE called the Iranian Revolutionary Guard exactly what they are. It takes a President with a backbone to do it.
I hope those wimps in Europe and Obama are ashamed how they have allowed the Iranians to use their guard as subversives in a number of conflict zones and around the world.

Iran’s mullahocracy is one of the most disgustingly CORRUPT mafias in the world. They escape paying taxes or playing by the rules and hide behind the theocracy’s blasphemy laws if anyone criticizes them.
There is nothing benign about Iran’s mullahocracy. Many of the top mullahs and their sons have net worths in the TENS, TWENTIES and THIRTIES of BILLIONS of US dollars. Yes, BILLIONS OF US dollars. And we talking about INDIVIDUAL wealth of the sons of the mullahs and the top guy Khameini has a net worth reported at about $31 BILLION US.
They couldn’t care less if sanctions are placed on them. They make millions on the BLACK MARKET CURRENCY TRADE. This hurts ordinary people in Iran.
They are human greed machines beyond anything imaginable on earth and the mullahocracy pretends none of this is happening.
Arcadi says
Pray tell what does Iran export to the world given such wealth?
Rob says
Oil.

Donald R Laster Jr says
The problem is that while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a terrorist support system it is part of the government of Islam. Until people face what Islam is, a 1400 plus year old government at war with all countries and societies not under the control of the government of Islam, one is not dealing with the core problem. Islam is not and never has been a religion. It is a theocracy and the cloak of religion is used to shield it waging of war in a variety of ways and what it instructs its citizens to do to advance it take over of the world. No citizen of Islam can ever be trusted. That is why when a citizen of Islam renounces the citizenship of Islam the person is to be killed by other citizens of Islam.
