Iranian MPs slammed on Saturday the US Army and the Central Intelligence Agency as terrorist, hitting back at US lawmakers' designation of the elite Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization.
"The aggressing US Army and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) sponsor terrorism and are terrorists themselves," said 215 out of 290 MPs in a statement, circulated by the ISNA news agency.
The MPs cited Washington's "unlimited support of the racist Zionist regime and participation in that regime's state terrorism", as well as "training Al-Qaeda and Taliban terrorists" among the reasons for their vicious statement.
