As is evident, the terror designation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc-part-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IRGC <\/a>is not related to the regime\u2019s nuclear program, which makes it a tough sell as part of any agreement reached in Vienna.<br>So, why is the regime predicating any deal on the removal of the IRGC from the terror list? And why is it doing so while its officials are tying the revival of the country\u2019s economy to the lifting of sanctions?<br>The reality is that the IRGC has a disproportionate share of all levers of power in Iran. It has a near-monopoly over Iran\u2019s economy and trade. It controls the regime\u2019s foreign policy through its network of diplomat terrorists and spies. Moreover, it has a large sway over other aspects of the regime\u2019s policymaking. The cabinet of the regime\u2019s current president, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-call-on-international-community-to-prosecute-ebrahim-raisi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>, is filled with IRGC veterans. The <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/who-is-mohammad-bagher-ghalibaf-the-new-speaker-of-irans-parliament\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">speaker of the Majlis <\/a>(parliament) is also a former IRGC commander. Therefore, the IRGC\u2019s terrorist designation would cast a shadow on any benefit the regime gains from a potential deal with world powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why the delisting of the IRGC has become a red line for the regime, and it is showing zero tolerance at even so much as hinting at the contrary.<br>For example, in a recent interview with the regime\u2019s Channel One TV network, foreign minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/publications\/special-reports\/who-is-hossein-amir-abdollahian-a-diplomat-or-a-field-agent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hossein Amir-Abdollahian<\/a> said that senior IRGC officials \u201cconstantly remind the foreign ministry to do whatever is needed for the country\u2019s benefit\u201d and \u201cif the agreement is in the country\u2019s interests, then do not prioritize the issue of the IRGC.\u201d<br>Amir-Abdollahian\u2019s remarks were immediately met with a backlash from senior officials and politicians with close ties with regime supreme leader<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/articles\/2020\/10\/who-is-ali-khamenei-iranian-regime-supreme-leader\/19254\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Ali Khamenei<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, in the U.S., politicians who have been pushing for the removal of the IRGC from the FTO are also having a tough time selling it at home and in the region.<br>The IRGC is the main body behind Tehran\u2019s foreign terrorism and warmongering. In March, the IRGC carried out a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-a-fundamentalism\/irgc-missile-attack-against-targets-in-iraqi-kurdish-region-sparked-international-outcry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">missile attack against Erbil, Iraq<\/a>. And its terrorist proxies are causing mayhem in the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past months alone, the Houthis in Yemen, funded and backed by the IRGC, have carried out several drone and missile attacks against United Arabic Emirates and Saudi Arabia.<br>American diplomats have tried to reassure politicians at home and abroad that they will continue to maintain a tough stance on the IRGC.<br>Speaking in Doha on March 27, US envoy Robert Malley said, \u201cThe IRGC will remain sanctioned under U.S. law.\u201d<br>And during a visit to Israel, U.S. State Secretary Antony Blinken said, \u201cDeal or no deal, we will continue to work together and with other partners to counter Iran\u2019s destabilizing behavior in the region.\u201d<br>At this point, the Vienna talks will depend on the West\u2019s resolve to take a tough stance against the world\u2019s number-one state sponsor of terrorism and its main terrorist arm, the IRGC. What is clear is that any deal that does not take a holistic approach toward the regime\u2019s multitude of threats will\u2014like its predecessor\u2014be short-lived and make the region less secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/how-the-revolutionary-guards-became-the-sticking-point-in-the-nuclear-talks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/how-the-revolutionary-guards-became-the-sticking-point-in-the-nuclear-talks\/<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People&#8217;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran &#8211; MEK IRAN YouTube channel has published an informative video about the sticking point of Iran\u2019s nuclear talks by the IRGC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":32915,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17,32],"tags":[219,1006,974],"class_list":["post-32900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","category-videos","tag-irgc","tag-irgc-terrorists","tag-nuclear-talks"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
