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.
“But here comes the news today Iran's Revolutionary Guards say the strait remains closed.”
“as time's gone on, it looks very clear that that is not true. And not only is that not true, I think we clearly did not foresee that the IRGC would look to harm and attack a lot of the infrastructure in the region.”
“Iran's IRGC issued a warning this morning that they will target 18 US technology companies if the US continues targeted assassinations of Iranian leaders beginning on April 1st.”
“Iran's Revolutionary Guard issues a warning that they will target 18 US technology companies if the US continues targeted assassinations of Iranian leaders beginning on April 1st.”
“Kadmini was a five-decade veteran of the Revolutionary Guard and accused of directing terror against Israelis and Americans.”
“They're also allowing payment with Bitcoin or other stable coins, and they're providing IRGC escorts in return. $2 million will give you a couple rowboats with these IRGC escorts.”
“Right now, US destroyers, USS Frank E. Peterson, USS Michael Murphy are already transiting that narrow choke point as part of mine clearing operations against IRGC mines.”
“last night, Iran Revolutionary Guard Navy issued a map and telling ships where they needed to go in the Straight of Hormuz, the route they need to follow so they could avoid getting hit by mines.”
“So on the 8th of April of 2026, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy and the Ports and Maritime Organization issued navigational maps and advisories for vessels that were planning on transiting the Strait of Hormuz.”
“Now, the maps that are labeled in Farsy show a large danger zone over the traffic separation scheme, suggesting that there's potential naval mines there, and ships have been instructed to use alternate routes closer to Iran's coast and islands for safety.”
“this might be giving us an idea that there has been some sort of a small skirmish between US and IRGC forces.”
“the uh Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that it plans to begin physically attacking American private tech companies with infrastructure in the Middle East.”
“the IRGC says that these are legitimate targets because their technology has been used in attacks, you know, that have killed Iranians.”
“On Monday, Iran's Revolutionary Guard said the straight was closed and that it would fire on any ship trying to pass.”
“We do know a warning was issued by supposedly the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. This is supposedly that warning... from now on is forbidden no ship in every type is not allowed to pass from a straight of hormones from now on.”
“So that warning was supposedly from the IRGC and what you'll notice here is the gap forming in the movement of ships through the straight of Hormuz. [383s] is banned for all ships this is out”
“this is pro IRGC community that's out there announcing that they just got their new supreme leader.”
“If Iran IRGC survives, the Iranian people who protested against it... are going to experience hell... the level of suppression”
“As long as the possibility exists, the IRGC might choose to retaliate against their critical infrastructure.”
“ار پاسداران شریف و س تا کاخ یزید ویران نشه از اینجا نمیریم”
