“Time is of the essence from the West’s perspective: In less than a month, Iran could possess uranium capable of making a nuclear bomb,” wrote Foreign Policy columnist Anchal Vohra.
“The United States should capitulate to the Iranian demand to remove the hardline Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from its foreign terrorist organization list, according to a Foreign Policy magazine essay that admits doing so would alienate Middle East allies and that Iran can not be trusted to follow up on its promises,” reported Breitbart News.
“Vohra claimed the time has come ‘to give the Revolutionary Guards a concession,’ calling a revival of the Iranian nuclear deal ‘more important than the symbolism of a terrorist list,'” reported Breitbart News.
Iran has indicated it will not budge until the United States removes the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from the Foreign Terrorist Organization list, but delisting the organization isn’t an attractive choice, FP columnist @anchalvohra writes.https://t.co/F2uKiW0SNp

Vohra described America’s Syria sanctions as essentially pointless. Many took to Twitter to criticize the piece.
Pattern: #Iranian regime makes outrageous demand; Biden Admin considers but receives pushback from both Dems & Republicans as #IRGC has American blood on their hands; Iranian regime plant makes the case for the Regime in an otherwise respectable outlet like @ForeignPolicy: pic.twitter.com/1SmcFgtxMv

“Next thing @anchalvohra will be calling for giving concessions to Russia to get this terrible new Iran deal,” wrote former National Security Council chief of staff and CIA official Fred Fleitz. “Oh wait, the Biden admin already agreed to this!”
“This headline is hard to believe. It’s not time to give #Iran’s IRGC a concession,” wrote Jason Brodsky, policy director for U.S. advocacy group United Against Nuclear Iran.
“It has earned its terrorism designations, it has plotted assassinations on U.S. soil, Iran is not just a nuclear file, & FTO list is not merely symbolic,” he added. “Unreal.”
“This gem is from a piece literally advocating IRGC appeasement,” wrote Hudson Institute Fellow Mohammed Alyahya.
