2/ There is no doubt the IRGC supports terrorism in the region. They are vicious, bad actors. But when I was in Baghdad last month, our diplomatic and military leaders were almost unanimously opposed to the designation because of its practical impact on our objectives in Iraq. — PolitiTweet.org

1/ THREAD: The Trump Administration knew that naming the Iranian IRGC as a terrorist group would lead to increased threats against U.S. troops in Iraq. That’s why Bush and Obama didn’t do it. They concluded the benefits did not outweigh the risks. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ Not every Shia militia in Iraq is in the IRGC’s pocket. But naming the IRGC as a terrorist group actually pushes more of them toward Iran bc if we force their hand to align w U.S. or Iran, they choose their neighbor. — PolitiTweet.org
