Guardia Revolucionaria Iraní

The Guardia Revolucionaria Iraní (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps - IRGC) is a major branch of the Iranian Armed Forces, established after the 1979 revolution to protect the country's Islamic system. It wields significant political and economic power within Iran. The IRGC is newsworthy due to recent escalations in international tensions. Argentina, under President Milei, declared the IRGC a terrorist organization and expelled Iran's top diplomat in Buenos Aires, aligning itself more closely with the US and Israel amid Middle East conflicts. Furthermore, in Paris, investigations into a foiled attack on a Bank of America branch have led to multiple arrests, with the investigation reportedly linked to the IRGC. These events highlight the IRGC's continued involvement in international affairs and the growing concerns surrounding its activities, leading to heightened diplomatic and security measures by various nations.
