US Congress targeted IRGC and passed new sanctions on Iran

27.07.2017

As the NCRI so nicely revealed the new sanctions have sparked a wave of fear and concerns within the regime. Both media and agents of both factions of the regime are writing about the terrible consequences of adopting these sanctions. And it is true that the sanctions will have terrible consequences for the regime but the sanctions will be a blessing for the Iranian people and all the neighboring countries Iran is currently at war with.

The big question this time is, the Iranian regime have been able to work their way around sanctions in the past, will they be able to work through the wave this time?
I don’t think so, not this time first of all the regime has not really been able to work around the previous sanctions, this we know because if they had they would never have come to the negotiation table and given up their most important protective shield, a nuclear weapon.  

Secondly, the sanctions that were put on Iran this time will have much more serious consequences especially since these sanctions will be followed by a changing US policy towards Iran.

One thing that will be interesting to see is how the regime will respond to the sanctions. They have already expressed that they think these sanctions are a violation of the spirit of the JCPOA deal. Inside the regime, they are discussing how to face this new situation. They are indirectly talking about revenge. Like one of the lower clerics said «makes us annoyed by new sanctions and its misbehavior about JCPOA, «we should reciprocate by creating» a list of areas and issues that cause Americans to be disturbed.» a Rouhani faction newspaper warns with great fear about this option that Tehran - Washington move expeditiously toward a dangerous accident.

The Iranian resistance, on the other hand, welcomes the sanctions and that they designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist entity. This is an essential step in rectifying the damaging policy of the appeasement that needs to be completed by evicting the IRGC and its affiliated militia particularly from Syria and Iraq as well as the recognition of the Iranian people’s right to overthrow the clerical regime. «Countering Iran’s Destabilizing Activities Act of 2017» the Act underscored that 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the President shall impose the sanctions, with respect to the IRGC and foreign persons that are officials, agents or affiliates of the IRGC. All property and interests in possession of designated individuals or entities that are or come within the United States. In fact, all transactions in any shape, size or form with Iran will be illegal.

The designation of the IRGC as terrorists is a good first step towards a regime change in Iran, the Iranian people have been telling the world about the necessity of a regime change to secure peace and democracy in Iran and its neighboring countries. The only way to secure that is to support the Iranian resistance in their work to overthrow the Islamic regime. And these sanctions will weaken the already weak regime and a regime change is one step closer.
