Iran’s Rouhani calls U.S. move against Revolutionary Guards a 'mistake'
By Erin Cunningham Erin Cunningham Middle East reporter covering Iran, Turkey, Syria and the wider region Email Bio Follow April 9 at 9:11 AM ISTANBUL — Iran’s leaders on Tuesday warned the United States of serious repercussions after it designated the nation’s elite Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization.
The Revolutionary Guard was established in 1979 to protect the Islamic revolution that had just overthrown Iran’s long-ruling monarchy. He spoke at an event marking National Nuclear Day and also warned that U.S. efforts would not hinder Iran’s “scientific progress.” Iran’s development of a nuclear power program that could possibly be used to produce weapons has long been of great international concern.
