Guardia Revolucionaria

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is a branch of the Iranian Armed Forces, founded after the 1979 Iranian Revolution to protect the Islamic Republic's achievements and ensure the regime's survival. It has since evolved into a powerful military, political, and economic force within Iran, involved in both domestic security and international operations, including support for proxy groups across the Middle East. The IRGC has been implicated in various conflicts and is often at the center of tensions with Israel and the West, particularly regarding its missile program and alleged involvement in regional destabilization efforts.
