Why and when the US should label the Iran's Revolutionary Guards a terrorist organization

Recognizing the group’s orientation and activities, within six months, the U.S. should designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps a terrorist organization.

Still, we should note that while this action is necessary, it comes with risks. Evidencing as much, on Sunday, the IRGC’s commanding general stated that if the U.S. does so label his group, the IRGC “will consider the U.S. armed forces equivalent to the Islamic State, all over the world and especially in the Middle East.” And on Monday, Iran’s foreign ministry promised to deliver a “hard, decisive and crushing” response.
