US military chief opposes ‘terror’ delisting for Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force

Mark Milley, the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says he opposes delisting the Iran Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force as a terror organization.

“In my personal opinion I believe the IRGC Quds Force to be a terrorist organization and I do not support them being delisted from the Foreign Terrorist Organizations list,” Milley tells US lawmakers.

It is not immediately clear whether Milley is referring only to the Quds Force, or to the entire IRGC.

Delisting the IRGC is reportedly being considered by Washington as part of a potential new nuclear deal with Iran.
