US designates Iran's Revolutionary Guards as terrorist organisation

The US has designated Iran's Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organisation, Trump said. It is the first time Washington has formally labelledd another country's military a terrorist group.

Critics have warned that the move could open U.S. military and intelligence officials to similar actions by unfriendly governments. The United States has already blacklisted dozens of entities and people for affiliations with the IRGC, but not the organization as a whole.
