The Biden administration should be putting far more economic pressure on Tehran, writes TomRTweets. 'That’s likely the only way to reach a new nuclear accord that provides for true regional security.'
in early March, the Biden administration has even failed to indict at least two IRGC officers publicly for their plot to assassinate former national security adviser John Bolton. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Iran envoy Brian Hook also face significant Iranian threats, requiring Diplomatic Security Service protection at a costEven if Biden has now come to the right conclusion, it took too long and too much silliness to get here.
All that said, the IRGC’s motive for seeking this waiver was not primarily rooted in its terrorist enterprises. The key concern for the IRGC is that this designation makes it far riskier for major multinational corporations to do business with interests linked to the IRGC or that serve as fronts for its vast economic portfolio. The legal penalties for dealing with a foreign terrorist organization are, after all, just about the most serious of any sanctions-busting offense.
The Biden administration should be putting far more economic pressure on Tehran so as to force it to choose between regime-threatening domestic protests or a more concessionary stance in nuclear negotiations. That’s likely the only way to reach a new nuclear accord that provides for true regional security. Regardless, the IRGC’s inability to escape its deserved designation as a terrorist organization is at least one positive.
