Tehran - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Tuesday that the United States was the real"leader of world terrorism" after Washington blacklisted Iran's Revolutionary Guards as a"foreign terrorist organisation".
Speaking at a ceremony to mark Iran's national nuclear technology day in Tehran, Rouhani defended the Revolutionary Guards as a force that has fought terrorism ever since its creation in 1979. "You want to use terrorist groups as tools against the nations of the region... you are the leader of world terrorism.
"Even now America is hiding the heads of ISIS, even now they are not prepared to tell the regional governments where the heads of ISIS are hiding."It is the first time that Washington has branded part of a foreign government a terrorist group, meaning that anyone who deals with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps could face prison in the United States.
