I've Been Thinking:
The US is about to declare the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization.
The Guard and their members are the elite of the elite of Iran. They own major industries and they control significant branches of Iranian society. They are the wealthiest and most successful segment within Iran and they wield more power than any group except the Ayatollah himself.
This designation will cut into the Guard's purse.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard is threatening a crushing attack against the United States is they are classified as a terror group.
"We are hopeful that the United States does not make this strategic mistake," foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi said. "If they do, Iran's reaction would be firm, decisive and crushing."
The Guard will be hurt if they are designated a terror group. That's a given. The big question is - why has it taken so long for this to happen?!
