Joint Chief Milley: IRGC Should Not Be Removed From FTO List

SECURITY

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley, appearing at the Senate Armed Forces Committee, has spoken on the status of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps.

  • The hearing is ongoing and can be followed: here.
  • Milley: '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.'
  • The removal of Foreign Terrorist Organisation designation from the IRGC is one of the two key demands from Tehran preventing a new Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action deal.
  • The other demand from Tehran is assurances that a future US administration won't unilaterally dissolve the deal as former President Donald Trump did in 2018.
  • Yesterday, 15 House Democrats publicly opposed the retraction of FTO status. Political currents are now pushing against the White House. Secretary of State Antony Blinken admitted in an NBC interview that he was not confident in a deal being struck.
  • It is likely that Tehran will now have to concede on key demands if the JCPOA is to be restored.
