Iran Parliament - Latest News Update, Information, Photos & Videos on Iran Parliament at Lokmat Times

The Iran Parliament unmously voted on Tuesday to designate the US Army and Pentagon as terrorist entities in the wake of the killing of Iran Quds Force commander Qassem Soleim, the country's Tasnim news agency reported.The motion passed at an open parliament session also obliges the government to allocate 200 million euros from the National Development Fund for the elite Quds Force.Last week, a US drone strike in Iraq killed Soleim in an operation ordered by US President Donald Trump, who claims that the top Iran general was a "murderer" and terrorist who plotted attacks on Americans. The Iran leadership has pledged that Soleim's death will not go unavenged.Trump, in turn, threatened that the US would strike over 50 Iran targets, including cultural sites, should Iran retaliate. The statement prompted criticism since targeting cultural sites is considered a war crime under international law. The US leader yet reiterated his threat.Iran and the US have long been accusing each other of using terrorist methods.Back in April, Washington formally designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), of which the Quds Force is a part, as a foreign terrorist orgsation. Tehran responded by designating the US Central Command as a terrorist orgsation and the American government as a sponsor of terrorism. (Sputnik/)( With inputs from ANI )
