Quds Force

The Quds Force is a unit within Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) responsible for extraterritorial military and clandestine operations. It plays a significant role in supporting Iran's allies and projecting Iranian influence throughout the Middle East. The Quds Force is newsworthy due to the ongoing conflict between Iran, the US, and Israel. Recent events include the reported killing of a Quds Force commander in an Israeli strike, as well as the targeting of IRGC intelligence officials. Additionally, relatives of the deceased Qassem Soleimani, a former Quds Force commander, have been arrested in the US, and their residency status revoked. These events highlight the Quds Force's central role in the escalating tensions and its continued presence in regional conflicts, making it a key focus of international attention.
