===[[File:IRGC.png]] Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC)===
'''The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps''', also referred to as Pasdaran or Sepah, was established by Khomeini in the aftermath of the Islamic Revolution to act as the "Ideological" armed forces of the newly established Islamic Republic.

The IRGC operates 5 different branches: Ground forces; Navy; Air force; Intelligence and Special forces. It also controls the Basij, a militia composed of volunteers and the Quds Force, that provides assistance and training to various militant organizations around the world. The IRGC is also a major force when it comes to controlling Iran's economy, owning more than 15% of the entire country's GDP.
