An Iranian general on Monday warned the United States against imposing sanctions on the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), threatening U.S. military bases in the region.
“Drawing an analogy between the IRGC and terrorist groups and imposing the same sanctions (used against terrorists) on the IRGC would be a big risk to the U.S. and its bases and forces stationed in the region,” said Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri, in comments quoted by the Tasnim news agency.
