Iran’s parliament designates US forces ‘terrorists’ for killing General Soleimani Tuesday Jan 07,2020

Iran's parliament has unanimously passed a bill designating the US forces as "terrorists" over the assassination of top military commander Qassem Soleimani in an air attack in Iraq last week

Soleimani, the popular head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) foreign operations arm Quds Force, was killed in a US drone attack outside Baghdad airport on Friday Jan 03,2020

Under the newly adopted bill, all US forces and employees of the Pentagon and affiliated organisations, agents and commanders and those who ordered the “martyrdom” of Soleimani were designated as “terrorists”

“Any aid to these forces, including military, intelligence, financial, technical, service or logistical, will be considered as cooperation in a terrorist act,” parliament said

Lawmakers also voted to bolster by 200 million euros the coffers of the Quds Force -- the foreign operations arm of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards that was headed by Soleimani

The bill was an amended version of a law adopted in April last year that declared the United States a “state sponsor of terrorism” and its forces in the region “terror groups”.
