The Iranian parliament
unanimously on Tuesday, voted to designate the U.S. Army and Pentagon as
terrorist entities.
The country’s Tasnim news agency
reported that the parliament also permitted the government to allocate 200
million euros ($224 million) from the National Development Fund for the elite
Quds Force.
This followed the drone strike on
a convoy at Baghdad airport that killed Iranian military commander Qasem
Soleimani and Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.
Iran has repeatedly vowed a
“harsh retaliation”
US President Donald Trump had
threatened that the U.S. would strike 52 Iranian targets, including cultural
sites, should Iran retaliate.
Iran and the U.S. have long been
accusing each other of using terrorist methods.
Last April, Washington formally
designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, of which the Quds Force is
a part, as a foreign terrorist organisation.
Tehran responded by designating
the U.S. Central Command as a terrorist organisation and the American
government as a sponsor of terrorism.
