The bill was passed in Majlis with 173 yes, 4 nay, and 11 blank votes.
The bill was passed in order to counter the US move to weaken peace and security of the region and the entire world by labeling the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps which is a defense power of Iran as a terrorist group, to put CENTCOM on the terrorist group and any cooperation with that is considered a terrorist move by Iran.
US President Donald Trump, on April 8, labeled the IRGC, a part of Iran's official armed forces as a terrorist entity.
In reaction to the US designation, Iran's Ambassador to London Hamid Baeedinejad said the US move against the IRGC at a time when the Iranian military body is helping the flood-hit people with all in power is a gift to Israeli Benjamin Netanyahu to assist him in the elections.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif recommended that Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) should add American forces in Western Asia, known as the US Central Command (CENTCOM), to its terrorist groups' list.
