Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is not explicitly mentioned in these articles, but the context suggests their involvement in the current crisis. The articles detail a significant escalation of tensions between the US/Israel and Iran, including airstrikes on Iranian military positions and infrastructure, such as naval headquarters and a military base near a school. These strikes follow the death of Supreme Leader Khamenei and a potential plan to assassinate him, and are occurring amidst internal unrest within Iran. The US is also reportedly considering arming Kurdish forces to destabilize Iran. The situation is further complicated by potential US military involvement and the possibility of a regional war, as warned by Khamenei. The IRGC, as a major military and political force within Iran, would undoubtedly be central to any Iranian response or defense strategy in this escalating conflict.
