The U.S. Calls the IRGC a 'Threat to the Entire World'; Miller: We Will Help Other Countries Designate the IRGC as a 'Terrorist Group'

Matthew Miller, spokesperson for the U.S. State Department, announced on Thursday that the Biden administration will assist other countries in designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization by providing information about its activities. In response to a question from the Persian section of Voice of America, Miller welcomed Canada's recent move to label the IRGC as a terrorist group, describing the group's 'terrorism and deadly plots' as a 'threat to the entire world' and emphasizing U.S. support for similar actions by other countries. He added that providing information to U.S. allies regarding global terrorism supporters is something the United States routinely does. He also expressed concern over a recent report regarding the Islamic Republic's increased enrichment capabilities, calling it unnecessary for a civilian nuclear program. Miller urged the Islamic Republic to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) without delay. A new report from the Washington Post indicated that the installation of advanced centrifuges in Fordow and Natanz would triple the Islamic Republic's enrichment capacity, raising alarms within the Biden administration. Regarding reports of the ability to 'computer-model' a nuclear weapon, Miller stated that it currently does not appear that the Islamic Republic intends to produce a testable atomic bomb, but this matter will also be monitored. He referenced the final statement from the G7 meeting, which called on the Islamic Republic to cooperate with the IAEA without hesitation, and stated that the U.S. will closely monitor the Islamic Republic's activities at its nuclear sites.
