Iran designates all US troops in Middle East as terrorists

The law specifically labels as a terrorist organisation the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), which is responsible for USmilitary operations in the Middle East and Afghanistan.

It was not clear what the impact of the new Iranian law might have on US forces or their Middle East operations.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani signed a bill into law on Tuesday declaring all US forces in the Middle East terrorists and calling the US government a sponsor of terrorism.
