Why did the State Department classify an Iranian military unit as a terrorist group? (Carol Morello)

from TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent · host WBAI 99.5fm, New York City's Pacifica radio station

On Monday, White House officials reclassified the elite military force the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist group. It is the first time in US history that a sitting president has accused a foreign government of terrorism. But is this move, which raised eyebrows coming on the eve of Israeli elections, just another presidential norm left shredded on the floor of the Oval Office or something more significant? On this week’s TrumpWatch, the diplomatic correspondent for the Washington Post Carol Morello examines what the reclassification of the IRGC will mean for relations between the US and Iran.
