The growing US-Iran hostility does not augur good for the universe specifically the Middle East. The US has formally imposed sanctions on Iran after pulling back last year from the 2015 nuclear deal that the Islamic republic reached. Iran’s bulk strong security organization, the Revolutionary Guards are in charge of the country’s ballistic missiles and nuclear programmes. They enjoy a large influence and large control over large sectors of economy. In this context the curbs on Iran’s all- significant force are unlikely to go without a response. It is a common belief that any such move by the US would accelerate chance for American troops in the absence of doing much more damage to the Iranian economy. It would be particularly menacing for US forces in places such as Iraq, where Iran- united militias are placed in close nearness to US troops. Donald Trump has been strident in his criticism of Iran. The US president appears that the only way to deal with the Islamic Republic is to set Washington on a clash course with Tehran. US-Iran relations have been in conflict ever since the happenings of 1979, perhaps no American government since the Islamic revolution has been as hostile to Iran as Mr Trump’s government. This shows that Washington is least interested in making peace with Iran. In this context US does not only wants to isolate Iran but also wants to go for confrontation.
It is the first time that the United States has stamped part of a foreign government a terrorist group. Turkey accused the US move to designate Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards a “terrorist group”. These sorts of decisions will open the way for destabilization in the region. It commented that the unilateral decision and sanctions against Iran and coercion on other countries by Washington to stick to them. The Revolutionary Guards are the ideal arm of the country’s military and sincerely rooted in Iranian political, social and economic life. Turkey and Iran have been working to develop realistic relations with each other, specifically over the Syria conflict in spite of being on reverse sides. Iran backs the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad while Turkey has time and again called for his removal and has provided assistance to adversary fighters. There have been increasing tensions with the US and Turkey over numerous hindrances’ as well as American backing to a Syrian Kurdish militia looked upon as terrorists by Ankara but whom Washington depended on to the fight against the Islamic State group in Syria. Now the NATO allies are facing further stress and Turkey itself risks US sanctions over the push to buy Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems.
Iran has stamped the US military a “supporter of terrorism” after Donald Trump’s administration blacklisted the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Tehran condemned Washington of posing a principal menace to regional and international security and peace. The decision to list the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization pronounced the first time the US has officially labelled another country’s military a terrorist group. Tensions between the two countries have climbed since Mr Trump pulled away from his country out of a 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran last May and reinforced sanctions that had fully destroyed Iran’s economy. The US has already ousted a good number of people and entities with so called connections to the IRGC, but had until now avoided from doing so to the total organization. In reaction, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council stated it has named the United States Central Command and all its forces as terrorist and tagged the US a backer of terrorism. The IRGC is a paramilitary organization and answerable only to Iran’s supreme leader. It operates irrespective of the regular military and has huge economic and social interests across the country. The new denomination permits the US to refuse entry to people found to have provided the Guard with defence material support or accuse them for sanctions offences. That could incorporate European and Asian companies and business people who deal with the Guard’s many associates. It will also perplex statesmanship. The US troops and diplomats could be forbidden from contact with Iraqi or Lebanese authorities who cooperate with Guard officials. The Pentagon and US intelligence agencies have raised concerns about the impact of the designation if the move does not allow contact with foreign officials who may have met with or communicated with Guard personnel. Those worries have in portion deterred past administrations from taking the step, which has been judged for more than ten years. The Revolutionary Corps itself nevertheless has still been seen as just another military force belonging to a possibly hostile country. US Secretary of state Mike Pompeo however, has long been an advocate of such a change in policy. Experts have reasoned that blacklisting the IRGC as a terrorist organization would only weaken the region moreover, generating the likely for clashes with US forces in the Middle East.
