| Failure of state: Outcome of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps interferences |

| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] In the years following the 1979 revolution, there was a major shift in the economy, and Iran witnessed a gradual and extensive presence of the Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC ) in this area. This paramilitary institution began its economic foray after the end of the Iran-Iraq war and today it is responsible for a third of Iran’s GDP. Given the economic crisis that has occurred in recent months in Iran, the role of this institution in triggering mass protests against IRGC policies both domestically and abroad is undeniable. Economic monopoly to the extent that no other private entity can compete, the massive $50 million embezzlement in the "Sepanir company", affiliated with IRGC, and the involvement of "The Mostazafan Foundation of Islamic Revolution", the financial sponsor of IRGC, in the embezzlement of 123 billion Tomans in the 1990’s is among the major financial crimes of this institution. |
