The Strategic Culture of the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)
Morteza Safari
On April 8, 2019, President Donald Trump‘s administration
designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist group. After almost 40 years since the Islamic Revolution of 1979 in Iran – a period of time that included the seizure of hostages from the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, IRGC support for Hezbollah terrorists who have killed numerous Americans, assistance to insurgents fighting American soldiers in Iraq, support for Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, sponsorship of Shi’ite militia movements
across the Middle East, and support for terrorist attacks in Europe and Latin America – U.S. officials decided it was time to officially signify that the IRGC‘s malign activities against the United States and its allies were not to be tolerated any longer. More recently, IRGC forces played
a key role in Iran’s drone and missile attacks against Israel, in arming Houthi insurgents who have steadily attacked shipping in the Red Sea, and in reportedly trying to organize assassination attempts against various former U.S. officials associated with the American drone strike
upon IRGC commander Qasem Suleimani in January 2020.

Drs. Vincent Munster and Claude Kwe arrived from the Republic of the Congo to Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Michigan with a case containing tubes of the disease — and lied about it to federal agents, the Department of Justice (DOJ) alleged in the Friday filing. The two arrestees worked for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, their professional profiles show.

Trump admin bypasses Tehran's isolation campaign to reach Iranians directly
"When Americans see Iran, we see a great people with a rich history and a generation full of talent and potential," the video's translation says. "Today, millions of Iranians want what people everywhere want: opportunity, stability, a chance to speak freely, and live without fear. Iran has the talent, resources, and educated young people to be among the world's most prosperous nations."
"The future of Iran should be shaped by its people, not by intimidation or fear. It should be built by the people themselves," the video goes on. "Iran's story is still being written. Its best chapter may still lie ahead."
