Bahrain welcomes US designation of IRGC as terrorist organization

Manama, Apr. 8(BNA): The Kingdom of Bahrain welcomed the decision of the United States of America to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed the importance of this decision in addressing the dangerous role played by the IRGC as a destabilizing force and a main contributor to the spread of violence and terrorism across the Middle East and the entire world. It reiterated its appreciation for the relentless efforts of the United States of America in confronting Iran’s hostile and terrorist activities and its negative interference in the internal affairs of the region’s countries. It also expresses its hope for resolute and effective action by the international community to pressure Iran to halt its support for terrorist organizations and militias, to respect the independence and sovereignty of states and to immediately stop undermining peace and security at the regional and international levels.
