Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is a powerful branch of Iran's military that has been involved in various conflicts, including the ongoing tensions with the US over the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC was established in 1979 as a revolutionary force to defend the country against foreign threats and has since become a key player in Iran's foreign policy. Recently, the IRGC has been at the center of attention due to the escalating tensions between Iran and the US over the Strait of Hormuz, with the US threatening to blockade the waterway and Iran responding with threats of retaliation. The IRGC has been accused of various human rights abuses and has been designated as a terrorist organization by several countries. Despite its controversial reputation, the IRGC remains a significant player in regional politics and will likely continue to be a major factor in the ongoing tensions between Iran and the US.
