The State Department is rallying international support to isolate Iran by urging countries to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah as terrorist groups. This initiative, revealed in a recent confidential cable, aims to curb Iran's capacity to fund terrorist activities worldwide.
This diplomatic push highlights the belief that collective global action against Iran is more effective than individual efforts. The cable, acquired by The Associated Press, states that international cooperation will exert significant pressure on the Iranian regime, potentially forcing a change in its policies.
President Donald Trump asserts the US doesn't require military assistance. However, the State Department remains proactive in seeking international endorsements to intensify the pressure on Tehran. Diplomats are implored to engage host nations that have yet to make these crucial designations.
