Information on Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
Rewads for Justice ^

Posted on 09/07/2019 6:38:51 AM PDT by nuconvert

The U.S. Department of State’s Reward for Justice Program is offering a reward of up to $15 million for information leading to the disruption of the financial mechanisms of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its branches, including the IRGC-Qods Force (IRGC-QF). The IRGC has financed numerous terrorist attacks and activities globally. The IRGC-QF leads Iran’s terrorist operations outside Iran via its proxies, such as Hizballah and Hamas.

(excerpt) (Read specifics on info State Dept is looking for at the link above)

The IRGC was founded in 1979 after the Iranian Revolution. It is a branch of the Iranian military and, most prominently through its Qods Force, the IRGC has the greatest role among Iran’s actors in directing and carrying out the regime’s global terrorist campaign.

On April 15, 2019, the State Department designated the IRGC as a Foreign Terrorist Organization under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. In 2017, the U.S. Department of the Treasury designated the IRGC as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist pursuant to Executive Order 13224 for its activities in support of the IRGC-QF.

Since its founding 40 years ago, the IRGC has been involved in terrorist plots and supports terrorism worldwide. The IRGC is responsible for numerous attacks targeting Americans and U.S. facilities, including those that killed U.S. citizens. The IRGC has supported attacks against U.S. and allied troops and diplomatic missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Additionally, the group has taken hostages and wrongfully detained numerous U.S. persons, many of whom remain in captivity in Iran today.

The IRGC–QF has planned terrorist activities around the world, in countries such as Germany, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Kenya, Bahrain, Turkey, and the United States.

The Ayatollah came to Iran from France. The group is question almost certainly had french roots.

To this day, France supports these Aemrican enemies. France in not now and never really has been an Americaan Ally.

At root, France is an Aerican enemy

The original say he is reading something in Arabic, but the others around him were speaking Farsi (Iranian) but I couldn’t tell one from the other. Here’s another video:

From the comments on this video:

A Shia 'scholar' is crying after reading a painful story of how Islam's Prophet Muhammad's whole family was destroyed 1400 years ago by some moderate Muslims.

They invited (trapped) his Grandson "Imam Hussain" from Medina (Arab) with his women & children along with 72 companions to Kufa (Iraq) to pledge Allegiance; then forced him to fight 10,000 soldiers of yazid (Caliph of sunni Muslims) to kill whole family & children after stopping water & food.

He is crying for his pain & suffering and going nuts over some 1400 year old story like only an old religious fanatical fool can.

For certain the IRGC helped fund the first years of the Islamic revolution in Somalia, and they are probably doing so today. They also accounted for the growth of the military in Bashir’s Sudan.

Khomeini was imprisoned by the Shah in 1963 and a year later kicked out of Iran. He spent a short time in Turkey & then spent most of his exile in Iraq. He was eventually thrown out of Iraq by Saddam & went to France. He was only in France for 4 or 5 months before he finally returned to Iran. There are no roots of the origins of IRGC to France.
