The Revolutionary Guard's enduring power in Iran

Irans Revolusjonsgarde (IRGC) is unlikely to yield to threats, despite escalating regional conflict and US pressure. The IRGC, a powerful military and economic force established after the 1979 revolution, plays a crucial role in Iran's defense and foreign policy. It operates independently of the regular army and answers directly to the supreme leader. The organization has grown significantly in military and economic influence over the past two decades, controlling numerous businesses and economic institutions.
