The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a powerful branch of the Iranian military that serves as a central pillar of the regime, overseeing foreign operations, proxy networks, and internal security. Beyond its role as a key state institution responsible for missile and drone capabilities, the organization functions as a primary political power broker and holds significant influence over regional security, particularly through the enforcement of blockades in the Strait of Hormuz. Currently, the Guard faces intense scrutiny and targeted military actions from international forces due to its involvement in hostile regional activities and its role in recent escalatory conflicts.
