The necessity of designation of IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization.
By Arash Nikzad
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was formed just three months after the founding of the religious government in Iran. The name and identity of this entity make no reference to "Iran," because its mandate goes beyond the geographic boundaries of Iran. It is the Supreme Leader's main instrument for internal crackdown and export of terrorism abroad.
According to IRGC’s charter "The IRGC is an entity
under the supreme command of the leader and its goal is to protect Iran’s Islamic revolution
and its achievements and to continually attempt to realize divine ideas and to expand the
rule of divine law on the basis of the laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran while fully
strengthening the defensive structure of the Islamic Republic through cooperation with
other armed forces and military training and organization of popular forces."
The training of the members of the IRGC will occur on the basis of the guidelines of the Velayat-e Faqih in the ideological, political, and military arenas in order to obtain the required skills and ability to carry out its mandated missions.
The regime's foreign policy is shaped by the so-called Supreme Leader, too, and is based on expansionism and the export of terror. Policymaking and the execution of regime objectives in some countries have officially been transferred to the IRGC.
In this regard, the Quds Force, as the extraterritorial arm of the IRGC, has effectively taken control of the regime's foreign policy through many of its embassies. The regime's embassies in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Yemen, Bahrain and Azerbaijan can be counted in this classification. Even the foreign ministry's personnel carry out their activities in accordance with the IRGC's commander desires.
In addition to the aforementioned countries, the IRGC has dominance in foreign policy when
it comes to Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Arab
Emirates, Qatar, Armenia, Russia, and Oman.
In countries like Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, the regime's ambassadors hail from the ranks of
the Quds Force or are people close to the IRGC. This is done in order to enable the IRGC to
carry out its activities and to advance its agenda by exploiting.
