| US grants major exemptions to new sanctions on Iran’s Revolutionary Guards | |
| 2019-04-25 | |
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo outlines the exemptions in notices published in the Federal Register. A ban on travel to the US stemming from the designation of the Guard Corps as a foreign terrorist organization will not apply to officials of foreign governments or businesses that have dealings with the elite military unit or its subsidiaries. The US designated the force as a terrorist organization earlier this month. US law authorizes authorities to bar entry to the US by anyone found to have provided "material support" to a terrorist organization. Pompeo says the waivers are in the interests of US national security, but they are likely to frustrate members of Congress who favor tough measures on Iran. | |
