Iran says "all options on table" if U.S. blacklists Revolutionary Guards

Iran warned Tuesday it has "all options on table" if the U.S. designates the Islamic Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist group, news agency ISNA reported.

A top aide to Iran's Supreme Leader warned the U.S. Tuesday against designating the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist group, saying Tehran has "all options on table," report said.

"The Americans are supporting Daesh (Islamic State). That's why they are angry with the Revolutionary Guards. But they are too small to be able to harm the Revolutionary Guards," Ali Akbar Velayati, the top adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was quoted as saying by ISNA.

"Whatever they do we will take reciprocal measures. We have all options on the table," he added.
