U.S. Labels Iran's Revolutionary Guard a foreign terrorist organization, the first time Washington has described a foreign military this way. The Trump administration on Monday designated Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps a foreign terrorist organization in a move that reflects Washington's increasingly aggressive stance toward Tehran and that could have implications for the U.S. Military. It is the first time the U.S. Has formally labelled another country’s military a terrorist group and it follows a months-long escalation in Washington's rhetoric against the Islamic Republic after President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. From the 2015 Iran nuclear accord last year and reimposed sanctions that had crippled its economy.

This new action might be to give a reason for preemptive strikes. I do not think Iran is like Iraq, they have been fighting wars for a long time and will attempt to hit back even if its done covertly.

Iran's president says country will stop complying with parts of nuclear accord it signed with world powers. President Hassan Rouhani said his country would reduce its compliance with the 2015 deal on Wednesday, the one-year anniversary of President Donald Trump's complete withdrawal from the agreement that limited Iran's nuclear program in return for sanctions relief.

It certainly looks like its going to be war. I'm concerned with the number of fronts we are opening up. We are up against China, Venezuela, Russia and Iran. None of these countries are pushovers. I think we feel everywhere we go will be like Iraq but its not that way anymore.
