President Donald Trump will announce additional sanctions on Iran's powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Friday, but will stop short of declaring them a terrorist organization.
"We have considered that there are particular risks and complexities to designating an entire army, so to speak, of a country," Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said.
