Revolutionary Guards are terrorists, but it's founder can teach in the United States

The decision for the United States government to potentially classify the Islamic Republic's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a terrorist entity is seen by the Marze Por Gohar Party as a positive development. The Islamic Republic's own constitution clearly states the aim of this entity under the heading of “An Ideological Army” “... and so the Islamic Republic's army, and the corps of Revolutionary Guards must be organized in accordance with this aim. They have responsibility not only for the safeguarding of the frontiers, but also for a religious mission, which is Holy War (JIHAD) along the way of God, and the struggle to extend the supremacy of God's Law in the world.” One of the major organizations tasked for actively leading, arming, training and financing terrorism following the above mentioned constitutional mandate has been the “Ghuds Force” of the revolutionary guards which has been behind countless conspiracies and terror activities from Lebanon to Iraq to South America. The Revolutionary Guards, or Pasdaran in Persian, have a free hand to essentially conduct any form of operation as they see fit whether it be their monopoly on the illicit alcohol and drugs market, rerouting Iraqi oil during Saddam Hussein or their importation of luxury goods as well as arms import and export and etc. through their exclusive and uncontrolled piers along the Iranian coastline in the Persian Gulf.. As such, the Revolutionary Guards can by no means be deemed a conventional branch of the armed forces. The Pasdaran have their own army, navy, air force and in addition it's members are free to serve in parliament concurrently, which is why this they cannot be classified as a branch of the armed forces.

However, while the reasoning behind wanting to brand the theocracy's Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization is sound, and while economic sanctions on this monopoly trade, industrial and financial empire will have tangible effects, the fact that the United States has repeatedly allowed terrorist elements of the Islamic Republic to enter the United States is puzzling to say the least. Mohsen Sazegara, the founder of the very same organization the US government is seeking to potentially label as a terrorist entity is now a visiting scholar at Yale where is he is busy trying to wash his hands clean of his responsibilities in the creation of this “Ideological Army.” The person responsible for creating the force that led to the American Marine barracks attack in Lebanon is teaching at a prestigious American institution while at the same time US administration is contemplating calling his brainchild a terrorist entity. The Marze Por Gohar Party is on record urging the American government to deny his visa as a Los Angeles Times article can attest to.

The son of another founder and long time leader of the same Revolutionary Guards during its worst period of killing Iranian opponents of the regime and hostage taking from among Americans in Iran and Lebanon, Ahmad Rezai, was allowed in the US and promoted as a regime opponent for several years, while he claimed that the IRGC was originally just an Iranian “patriotic” army and his father, Mohsen Rezai was nothing but a well meaning patriot. At the same time, his father, now the secretary of the powerful Expediency Council, said last year that if anyone has any legitimate concern about my son's statements in America, he should talk to the Intelligence Ministry, which will take care of the problem, insinuating that the son was on an official mission! Ahmad Rezai returned to Iran in 2007, and soon after became his father's office director according to Peyke Iran news service.

The American government even urged the Islamic Republic to release a former regime intelligence officer, Akbar Ganji from jail. The fact that this person was responsible for torture and execution of Iranians during his illustrious career evidently mattered little. In a country where even dissident journalists are prohibited from leaving the country, Ganji was able to secure permissions to go on a public relations world tour, and again the United States government was only too happy to issue Mr. Ganji a visa to visit.

The United States government should take heed and begin to intensely scrutinize any current and former official of the Islamic Republic wishing to visit the US so as to prevent embarrassing scenarios such as the above where the United States is contemplating labeling an organ of the Islamic Republic a terrorist organization while allowing its members to visit the States.

Down with the Islamic Republic

Long Live Iran

Interesting except that preventing any representative of another country from access to the United Nations might not be something we can legally do. If we were to move the United Nations to a place it was better suited to be like Cypress, we could control who comes and goes to the United States without causing international incidents.

You are right!
However if you rememebr the state department provided security escort to the Khatami when he was on his promotion tour.
Not to decline vis is one thing but to provide service to the enemy with taxpayers money demonstrates the stand of state department as metnioned above.
