Saudi Arabia welcomes US blacklisting of Iran Revolutionary Guards
Saudi Arabia welcomed on Tuesday a US decision to
designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist
organization, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
An official source at the Foreign Ministry hailed
the move as a “practical and serious” step in countering terrorism.
The designation translates into action the Kingdom’s
repeated demands for the international community to counter Iran-sponsored
terrorism, the source added.
The international community must take a decisive
stance to confront the role played by the IRGC in harming international
security and peace, stressed the source.
“The IRGC is the Iranian government’s primary means
of directing and implementing its global terrorist campaign,” US President
Donald Trump said in announcing the designation on Monday.
