In a cross-party alliance that is rare in the United States, political and military figures in the United States have stated their opposition to removing the IRGC from the terrorist list (FTO).
Opponents of the IRGC‘s withdrawal from the terrorist list and pessimism about the future of nuclear talks with the Iranian regime, which has stalled talks by insisting on removing its terrorist IRGC, include senior State Department officials, members of Congress and the Senate, and senior military commanders.
Examples of these positions as follows:
