Iran's parliament votes to label CIA, U.S. Army 'terrorist' groups
CNNThe Iranian parliament on Saturday voted to designate the United States' Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S. army as terrorist organizations, IRNA, the country's state-run news agency, reported.
The CIA and the U.S. Army "trained terrorists and supported terrorism, and they themselves are terrorists," the parliament said, according to the IRNA.
The Iranian parliament said the condemnation was based on "known and accepted" standards of terrorism from international regulations, including the U.N. charter.
The parliament said it condemns the "aggressions by the U.S. Army, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan" and calls on the United Nations to "intervene in the global problem of U.S. prisons in Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib and secret jails in other countries," IRNA reported, quoting a statement from Iranian lawmakers.
