Happy someone finally posted on this topic.
Two comments:
1. I cannot offer a definition of terrorism which would convict Iran and exempt the U.S. Can anyone help me out with that? Maybe we don't have to; American exceptionalism?
2. It is hard to see the long term consequences of defining the RG as a terrorist organization. It will certainly make it harder to work with allies. But it does makes sense as part of a "long game" which sees war and regime change at the end. The consequences of that are far scarier and uncontrollable, especially if tactical nukes are on the table.
There are fewer and fewer adults in the room now when Trump goes over foreign policy.
