u.s. embassy annex. its operatives have worked to throughout yemen. the trump administration is simply recognizing a basic reality. the irgc will take its rightful place with the terrorist list it supports, lebanese hezbollah, palestinian islamic jihad, among others, already designated as foreign terrorist organizations. the long list of irgc-backed terrorism is ample justification for today's decision. i want to give you a handful of examples. last september, federal court in the united states found iran and the irgc responsible for the 1996 khobart towers bombing which killed 19 american service members. in 2011, united states found that the quds force right here in washington, d.c., to bomb a restaurant and the attempt was to kill the saudi ambassador to the united states of america. outside the united states, the irgc is just as active. in 2012, they were apprehended after attacking representatives in turkey. in that same year, two other quds force operatives were arrested in kenya while planning a bomb attack while they detected a bomb attack that targeted israeli diplom
