Rubio tells US diplomats to push allies to blacklist Iran's Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has directed American diplomats to pressure allied governments into formally designating Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Hezbollah as terrorist organizations. The directive, revealed through an internal State Department cable, cites an elevated risk of attack. The move reflects the Trump administration's escalating pressure campaign against Iran and its proxies.
