Reuters - The head of Iran�s Revolutionary Guards dismissed Washington�s designation of the elite force as a terrorist organization and said on Tuesday the Guards would increase their military capabilities.

�This U.S. move was quite laughable since the Revolutionary Guards are in people�s hearts ... The Revolutionary Guards will increase its defensive and offensive capabilities in coming year,� commander Mohammad Ali Jafari was quoted as saying by the state broadcaster.
