Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been severely impacted by the US-Israeli airstrike campaign, which killed top generals and destroyed ballistic missile sites and air defense systems. Its 'Axis of Resistance' strategy is facing significant challenges due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and the fall of Bashar al-Assad's government in Syria. The European Union has also listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps declared the Strait of Hormuz closed and threatened to attack any vessel attempting to pass, significantly escalating geopolitical tensions and impacting global oil supplies. They also threatened to attack oil pipelines and halt all regional oil exports.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has significantly increased its power by forcing Mojtaba Khamenei's selection as Supreme Leader, ensuring a leader who will support their hardline policies. This move solidifies their control over Iran's political system, potentially transforming it into a military state.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has launched the 51st wave of Operation True Promise 4, targeting US military installations and industrial facilities in the Middle East. They claim to have intercepted enemy drones and warned civilians near US-linked factories.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) suffered a major blow with the assassination of its intelligence chief, Majid Khademi. This event is expected to weaken the IRGC's ability to manage and coordinate intelligence-based operations, affecting both internal security and external intelligence activities.
