Designating the IRGC Was a Necessary, but Insufficient Step

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. “Death to America” has been the Iranian mullahs’ mantra – and policy – for nearly four decades. Realizing their ambition to destroy our country and people has been a prime task of General Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. President Trump rightly declared Soleimani’s IRGC to be a terrorist organization last week since the blood of many American servicemen, diplomats and citizens is on his hands.

Realizing their ambition to destroy our country and people has been a prime task of General Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. President Trump rightly declared Soleimani’s IRGC to be a terrorist organization last week since the blood of many American servicemen, diplomats and citizens is on his hands.

This jihadist general is in the vanguard of the mullahs’ bid to kill millions of us with nuclear weapons and to wipe out our friends and allies in the Middle East. From Yemen to Lebanon, Soleimani’s IRGC has been on the march and it’s now crushing the pro-American Kurds seeking independence from Iraq.

The mullahs’ success is one of Barack Obama’s most dangerous legacies. It is being advanced, however, on Donald Trump’s watch.

This is Frank Gaffney.
