Reuters reports that early proposals for an agreement between the United States and Iran to end the current conflict might inadvertently strengthen the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. This military force has built a massive business empire while operating under strict international sanctions.
According to the report, lifting these sanctions could unlock billions of dollars, making the IRGC the biggest beneficiary of any future deal. The group currently holds immense power over crucial Iranian industries, including oil, construction, and telecommunications.
Sources indicate that the IRGC's deep economic involvement could become a major obstacle to the agreement. Because the US classifies the IRGC as a terrorist organization, their financial dominance complicates efforts to relieve Iran's struggling economy from global sanctions.
