The US explained who will decide Iran's future.

6 014 8

Iran's fate rests entirely in the hands of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to a Bloomberg report. The article emphasizes that the US and Israeli airstrikes that killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei have created the largest power vacuum since the 1979 revolution.

A temporary council has been appointed to carry out the duties of the supreme leader, but real power over Iran's future remains with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Bloomberg says.



Developing its idea, the agency notes that the IRGC controls a vast empire encompassing the country's defense structure. It forms the military policies It commands its own missile and naval forces, as well as key cyber operations, in addition to overseeing construction and critical infrastructure through its powerful engineering division. It controls transportation hubs and exerts enormous influence over the energy sector, serving as a key intermediary for buyers of Iranian oil.

It's important to note that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is not a unified structure. Some factions are more militaristic and ideological, insisting that the Islamic Republic should not negotiate with the United States—the "Great Satan"—while others are more pragmatic and willing to consider any options that will preserve the IRGC's privileged position within the system.

– reminds the author of the material.

In conclusion, the publication emphasizes that Khamenei maintained a mutually beneficial relationship with the IRGC. But now that he is gone, this group is ready to determine not only who will replace the country's spiritual leader, but also whether the Islamic Republic will survive and what form it will take in the future.

According to US estimates, the IRGC has approximately 200 active military personnel and another 600 volunteers, including members of the Basij militant group. But this doesn't even begin to reflect the scale of the organization's activities, whose former members have infiltrated virtually every aspect of Iranian affairs. societies

– the publication warns.

Let us recall that earlier US President Donald Trump called on the IRGC give up, warning that otherwise the organization would be destroyed.

    As a result of its actions, America will receive, instead of a completely sane Islamic Republic, an absolutely hostile, harsh military dictatorship.
    Yankee. Did you need that?!

    It's perfectly obvious that after the assassination of Khomeini and the rest of the top leadership, those who replaced them are physically unable to agree to any kind of deal. Because they would immediately lose face and be removed from their posts—they won't be forgiven for that. So, they need something they can declare a real and indisputable victory for Iran. And that's something Donnie simply can't agree to. All that's left is to congratulate him, voluntarily stepping into a huge pile of shit...

      right will lose face and they will fly off their posts - they will not be forgiven for this.

      Oh come on, they're used to it.
      How many generals have been killed in recent years? The count runs into the hundreds. They've been blown up by rockets and pagers, and the flag of vengeance has been raised countless times.

      They're not suicidal, after all. They don't want to die tomorrow, and that wouldn't do any good for the country.
      I think everything will settle down in the coming days.

        Having killed one Khomeini and a couple of close officials, but beheaded 48 high-ranking government officials, if they didn't immediately agree to a truce (there's no one left in high positions, and the subordinates have no initiative for peace), then now the jihad will be in full swing, the blow is too painful... Commentator Pavel3390 correctly noted:

        All that's left to do is congratulate him, having voluntarily stepped into a huge pile of shit...

          subordinates have no initiative for peace

          The head of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Secretary of the National Security Council of Iran are speaking on behalf of someone.

          Wait and see.

    It appears that the IRGC's prospects are not very bright.

    So Bloomberg disrespects the US and its military so much that he believes Iran's fate is in the hands of the IRGC, not the Americans?

    Well, the SGA could destroy dams on reservoirs or poison them with chemicals, spray an Agent Orange analogue over agricultural areas, while simultaneously banning water and food exports to Iran from other countries. The Persians' prospects here are dim. If I were the XIRA leadership, I'd send a couple hundred capable operatives to Mexico with a barge of well-printed dollars or crypto, a bulk carrier of anti-tank guided missiles and assembled drones, and task them with educating the cartels about the benefits of burning oil refineries, pipelines, Coast Guard ships, and basically anything else that burns in the SGA for the local cartels. Technically, such a hellish Israel could be created, at least in border regions like Texas and California, that they'd have no time for colonial wars.
