23. Yes, designating the Iranian guard as a terrorist organization was probably it.

However, if they are engaged in terrorist activities (and it is my understanding that there is indeed proof that they are) I find it hard to argue against designating them as such.

You also bring up a good point...isn't it the State Department that makes such designations? And, the resolution is non-binding.

I don't think this resoulution gives the administration any more power than it already has, but I'd be interested if someone can prove me wrong.
