The Iranian parliament approved bill on Tuesday that designates United States military forces as terrorists, days after American airstrikes killed top Iranian military leader General Qassem Soleimani in Iraq. The bill is similar to the action the U.S. took last year when the Trump administration designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization.

Members of parliament passed the bill declaring the U.S. military and the Pentagon terrorist entities, according to Iranian state media. Under the bill, the Iranian government will also provide $220 million to the IRGC to "reinforce its defense power in vengeance for General Soleimani's assassination," the news agency reported, as tensions between the U.S. and Iran rise.

Didn’t John Kerry make pretty much exactly this accusation during the GW II? Along with many other Democrats, who spoke from the floor of Congress?

The Iranian bill has about as much force as Nancy’s not-really-impeachment bill. Good luck with that.

I see what you did there.

Though it would be interesting to have a reporter stick a mic in front of them and ask for their comment about this story.

They’re already murdering our men and women in uniform without reservation. What’s the point of calling them terrorists?

[ Iran’s parliament approves bill designating all U.S. military forces as terrorists ]

Cool. Iran’s parliament is run by American Democrats.

I just knew Pelosi and Schiff had money coming in from elsewhere.

The US government made a terrible and foolish mistake in murdering Qassem #Soleimani. https://twitter.com/jengriffinfnc/

PRIVATE SOURCE: This is only the first wave, depending on US military movements, it can be the last. A very small attack compared to what is to come.
