The Iranian Supreme National Security Council named the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) a terrorist organization, and the U.S. government a sponsor of terror, Tehran Times reports.
It came minutes after U.S. President Donald Trump announced the U.S. will formally designate Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization.
The Supreme National Security Council in a statement condemned Trump’s move as "baseless" and warned of the consequences of its move for peace and security in the Middle East.
