Saudi Arabia and Bahrain add Iran’s IRGC to terror list
[ALMASDARNEWS] Soddy Arabia...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and Bahrain added Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to their terrorism lists on Tuesday for financial and material support to what they describe as Iran’s terrorist activities, the SPA news agency reported. Among the names added to the list is also Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani  , the commander of the Quds Force, an IRGC special forces unit.The designation entails the freeze of all IRGC’s assets and properties and ban on any transactions with the organization and its representatives, the media outlet clarified. The decision was made by the two nations as part of their collective action as members of the Treasury and the Terrorist Financing Targeting Center, co-founded by Riyadh and Washington back in 2017. Earlier on Tuesday, The US nd its Gulf Arab allies have imposed sanctions on eight individuals linked to the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... in Afghanistan, including two officers of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. In particular, the sanctions target Mohammad Ebrahim Owhadi (also known as Jalal Vahedi) and Esmail Razavi, the US Treasury Department said in a blurb, adding that the two men are members of the IRGC’s elite Quds Force. In July, Qassem Soleimani responded to threats that US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... aimed at Iranian leader Hassan Rouhani, warning that if the United States were to start a war against Iran, the latter would be the first to end it.
