Iran: on the front and of Russia the Islamic revolutionary guards are no longer terrorists for Biden
At a time a restored JCPOA nuclear deal with Iran is said to be close to the finish, despite recent complications involving Russia's request for written assurances that sanctions relating to Ukraine will not hamper its trade with the Islamic Republic. he White House is ready to remove Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from the list of terrorist groups.
Biden's potential turnaround of Trump's 2019 designation of the elite Iranian military group as a foreign terrorist organization is seen as one last major concession to Tehran, with the prospect of reopening oil supplies for Western markets. quickly and efficiently.
Axios' Barak Ravid reported Wednesday that “ the Biden administration is considering removing Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from a terror blacklist in exchange for a public commitment by Iran to reduce escalation in the region, they tell me. three Israeli officials and two US sources “.
The same report says Iranian leaders view the removal of the IRGC from the FTO as a final sticking point if a restored deal is to succeed in Vienna.
If that happened, Biden would likely come under bipartisan attack and pressure from anti-Iranian hawks, no doubt with the Republicans in the lead, however. Israel is also firmly opposed to any change in the current designation as it views the IRGC as enemy number one. The last few years of nearly weekly Israeli airstrikes on Syria are generally explained as targeting IRGC assets in Syria.
Tel Aviv has also long condemned the IRGC's ties with Hezbollah, as the two have a weapons supply relationship and in some cases IRGC agents are believed to be training Hezbollah forces in Lebanon. Shia military groups also coordinated closely during a decade of the war in Syria.
To appease opponents, an idea discussed by the Biden administration would be a public announcement that the United States reserves the right to rename the IRGC if it determines that Iran has not fulfilled its promise to reduce the escalation. in the area.
So, faced with the Russian problem, the Iranians suddenly become almost good guys. Barring U-turn in the next fight.
