The US State Department has unveiled a new $15 million “reward program” for anyone who provides information on the financial inner workings of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, in an attempt to further disrupt them.
The program comes after the US declared the Revolutionary Guards “terrorists,” but remains very unusual, in as much as it targets an agency of a national government instead of just some random militant group.
Some analysts say they expect a backlash against the program, as further harming European and other international diplomatic efforts with Iran. US Special Envoy Brian Hook insisted, however, that the US wasn’t trying to harm diplomacy.
Instead, Hook said this made no change to US policy, and President Trump supports bilateral diplomacy with Iran irrespective of this latest effort. Iran is already downplaying the chances of such talks, saying they have made it clear to the US they want sanctions relief as a condition.
Shows the mentality of these idiots, who would no doubt happily sell the USA out to the highest bidder. In a matter of speaking, they have already, repeatedly.
Headline is just a tad misleading. And that’s a big tad.
Does it count if someone from the Revolutionary guard reports to the US that he’s taking money from foreign states and passing it on to his state?
“Now where’s my 15 million?”
Thanks Sheldon Adelson!
This reminded me of that one episode of Gilligan’s Island when Thurston Howell tried to buy off everyone on the island.
Irrelevant load of BS. Just more propaganda.
Brian Hook needs to come down with a terminal disease.
