Iranian
Parliament voted to put the US Central Command (CENTCOM) in West Asia on the
list of terrorist groups.
According to the parliamentary
ratification, the forces and organizations under the authority of the CENTCOM are
also considered terrorist and any aid to these forces is also considered
cooperation with terrorism.
The bill was approved with 173
votes in favor, four against, and 11 abstentions.
The branding of CENTCOM as a
terrorist organization came after the United States designated the Iranian Revolution
Guards Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization on April 8.
