Turkish Political Party Voices Support for Iran’s IRGC
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Turkish Patriotic (Vatan) Party condemned a recent decision by the US government to label Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) as a “terrorist group” and voiced its support for the Islamic Republic.
A delegation from the Patriotic Party visited the Iranian embassy in Ankara to voice its opposition to the US administration’s decision and declare their support for the IRGC and the Iranian nation.
US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that Washington is designating the IRGC a foreign “terrorist organization”, marking the first time the US has formally labeled another country's military a terrorist group.
Responding to the move, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council immediately declared the US as a state sponsor of terrorism and US forces in the region terrorists.
The SNSC said it has put CENTCOM on its terror list as a “reciprocal measure” against the US “illegal and unwise” move.
