(Politico) Stephanie Liechtenstein - Despite having an agreement to restore the Iran nuclear deal virtually ready to go, there is one final sticking point: the terrorist status of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The terrorist label for the group technically falls outside the purview of the nuclear agreement. "The U.S. position has been that unless Iran agrees to take certain steps to assuage security concerns beyond the JCPOA, Washington will not lift the terror designation, which itself is beyond the JCPOA," a U.S. official said.

"The Biden administration is highly unlikely at this point to drop the designation in the context of the JCPOA talks." In the meantime, the tide in Washington has been turning against taking the group off the terrorist list. A growing number of Republican senators, as well as some key senators from Biden's Democratic Party, are putting pressure on the White House to not budge. 2022-05-02 00:00:00Full Article
