Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps

Description:

The IRGC is the Iranian military force directly responsible for protecting the regime. It has its own land, air and sea military forces, separate to the conventional military. The IRGC also has Qods Force, a special operations organization responsible for terrorism and proxy guerilla warfare, usually against Israeli or US interests.

 

 

 

PRIMAL Assessment:

The capability of the Guards, and more specifically Qods Force is difficult to assess. A series of bungled terrorist operations in places like Thailand and the United States have embarrassed the organization however they have plenty of switched on operatives working in places like Lebanon, Syria, and Sudan. Like any covert organization, it is the setbacks that get the spotlight, not the successes.
