What is Islam Revolutionaire Garde (IRG)?
- De IRG is het militaire elitekorps van Iran. Het korps valt niet onder het ministerie van Defensie, maar rechtstreeks onder ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
- De politieke invloed van de IRG is enorm en ze heeft ook grote economische macht. Het elitekorps heeft eigen grond-, lucht- en marine-eenheden. Daarnaast bezit de IRG een eigen geheime dienst.
- Ook stuurt de IRG paramilitaire eenheden aan, zoals de Basij. Dat zijn tienduizenden vrijwilligers die gemobiliseerd worden ‘in tijden van nood’. Ze worden nu vooral ingezet om protesten neer te slaan.
- Het is niet duidelijk hoe groot de IRG zelf is. Vermoedelijk gaat het om zo’n 200.000 manschappen.
