Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid issued a statement in response to reports that the the Biden Regime is considering removing the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations. “The IRGC is responsible for attacks on American civilians and American forces throughout the Middle East, including in the past year. The IRGC were behind plans to assassinate senior American government officials, “they said.
World Israel News The Trump administration designated Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its Quds Force as a foreign terrorist organization which allowed the United States to impose further sanctions on Iran and cripple the businesses that finance the military.
“The IRGC were involved in the murder of hundreds of thousands of Syrian civilians, they destroyed Lebanon and they are brutally oppressing Iranian civilians. They kill Jews because they are Jews, Christians because they are Christians, and Muslims because they refuse to surrender to them.
“They are an integral part of the brutal machine of oppression in Iran. Their hands have on them the blood of thousands of Iranians and the crushed soul of the Iranian society.” The statement noted that the IRGC is behind Hezbollah in Lebanon, Islamic Jihad in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen and the militias in Iraq.
Iran Focus The IRGC is in charge of the religious volunteer group, the Basij Resistance Force, that enforces the domestic crackdown on dissent. It ensures that the people adhere to the strict and antiquated laws that are in place, such as the compulsory veiling of women, strict dress codes, banning of “Western” clothes and hairstyles, mixed-sex parties, consumption of alcohol, and so on. The Basij Force ensures that punishments are handed out to those it deems in violation.
The Qods Force is the extraterritorial branch of the IRGC and it is in charge of the foreign interventions. For decades, it has been involved in the regional conflicts, most recently in Yemen, Syria and Iraq. This is how the IRGC ensures that Iran’s influence is spread across the region and further.
Analysts say that the designation will greatly contribute to the fizzling out of numerous proxy groups and militias as their finances will dwindle away until Iran is no longer able to fund them.

According to the report, former Vice President Mike Pence told Israeli officials during a visit last week that the U.S. administration was considering de-listing the IRGC “in return for a more narrow commitment not to target Americans.”
Last month, when Iran made the demand during the Vienna nuclear talks, Lapid quipped, “If the IRGC isn’t a terrorist organization, what are they? A folk dancing troupe?” “The attempt to delist the IRGC as a terrorist organization is an insult to the victims and would ignore documented reality supported by unequivocal evidence,” Lapid and Bennett said in the Friday statement. “We find it hard to believe that the IRGC’s designation as a terrorist organization will be removed in exchange for an unreliable promise not to harm Americans.”
The IRGC was established in April 1979 just after the overthrow of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. Its role is to protect and enforce Iran’s revolutionary vision and Islamic system.

Senile Joe will sell itself to crescent hyenas of any kind for oil. The Green gangrene ban all oil wing of the dhimmicrat party is just as dangerous as IRGC and affiliates !
The Speaker says
Very old saying: “A rose by any other name is still a rose”. And the IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps) is still a terrorist organization regardless of what Joe Biden thinks.
