US fresh feud with Iran stirs regional tensions

The United States has designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a "foreign terrorist organization", a move that China said would further escalate tensions in the Middle East.

In announcing the designation on Monday, US President Donald Trump said it "recognizes the reality that Iran is not only a state sponsor of terrorism, but that the ... (Revolutionary Guard) actively participates in, finances and promotes terrorism as a tool of statecraft".

Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said in Beijing on Tuesday that China opposes any countries' resorting to power politics or bullying when dealing with international relations.
