On Tuesday, the US administration added to the sanctions lists on Iran the representative of this country, Hasan Ayrulu in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, which is currently controlled by the Ansar Allah rebel movement (Houthis), as well as the Iranian International University named after al-Mustafa. This was reported on the website of the US Treasury Department.
In addition, one Pakistani has been added to the list of sanctions on Iran; the United States considers him to be associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, the elite units of the Iranian Armed Forces) recognized as a terrorist organization in the United States.
Note that on April 8, 2019, Washington recognized the IRGC as a terrorist organization. For the first time in US history, the regular armed formations of a foreign state were declared a terrorist organization.
