Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is poised to expand its influence within the country's political and military landscape, according to recent reports. The IRGC, a powerful paramilitary organization, is increasingly involved in domestic governance and regional operations, strengthening its role under Iran's current leadership. This shift raises concerns among Western nations and regional neighbors about Iran's expanding military capabilities and its impact on stability in the Middle East. The article details how the IRGC's growing authority is reflected in recent political appointments and military activities, including increased involvement in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. Experts warn that this consolidation of power could embolden Iran's hardline factions and complicate diplomatic efforts to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions and regional influence. The IRGC's expanding role underscores the broader challenge of managing Iran's assertive regional posture amid ongoing international negotiations.
