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

Newspaper current event by mikeforbes on 30 September 2007, tagged as iran, worldaffairs, international relations, and military

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.
