Iran Declares CIA, U.S. Army 'Terrorist Groups'

On Saturday, the Iranian Parliament voted to declare the U.S. Army and Central Intelligence Agency "terrorist groups."

In a statement, the Parliament cited the "[b]ombing [of] Hiroshima and Nagasaki with atomic weapons and throwing depleted uranium bombs in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan…" as well as "[support of] Israel in its crackdown on Palestinian and Lebanese people" to justify its resolution. This declaration comes just three days after the U.S. Senate passed a similar resolution that urged the State Department to designate Iran’s Revolutionary Guards a "foreign terrorist organization."

There was no word on whether Iran would consider a subsequent resolution once they found out who was really responsible for the bombings in question.
