If the Revolutionary Guards aren't terrorists, who is?
BY BRET STEPHENS

On the morning of July 18, 1994, a suicide bomber drove a van into the seven-story Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, murdering 85 people and seriously injuring 151 others. Last November, Argentine Judge Rodolfo Canicoba Corral issued international arrest warrants for eight men--seven Iranians and one Lebanese--wanted in connection to the bombing. Among them are former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, former Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati, and three other men with one important point in common: All were, or are, senior officers in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

As expected, the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad brought a briefcase full of denials to New York last month. When asked about providing training and weapons to militias in Iraq, he said, "Why would we want to do that?" Commenting on Iran's long-term, clandestine nuclear program, he claimed, "all our nuclear activities have been completely peaceful and transparent." Most viewers shook their heads in disbelief that he could utter such blatant lies from a Columbia University podium.

Tehran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and its radical foreign policies have provoked international sanctions. Its financial subterfuge has led key banks and businesses world-wide to sever their Iranian business ties, and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's blunders are debilitating Iran's economy. As a result of the regime's choices, Iran is headed toward isolation and economic hardship.

This week, the world watched the always-bellicose Mahmoud Ahmadinejad making rounds in New York City. With a barrage of outright lies, he addressed Columbia University, the United Nations General Assembly and talked to reporters in Washington, DC and New York. Ahmadinejad astonished his audience by claiming that Iran's nuclear program has always been "completely peaceful and transparent." He also claimed that Iran had cooperated fully with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and that Iran's nuclear file is now closed; the issue is now with the Agency and no longer at the Security Council.

Commentary by U.S. Alliance for Democratic Iran
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the ayatollahs' thug-turned-president is in New
York to once again showcase his belligerent fangs to the world. While
he was departing Tehran for New York and in the midst of controversy
about his disgraceful invitation to Columbia University, the state-run
Mehr news agency reported that the trial of three Iranian students
jailed on charges of acting against national security and insulting
Islam has started in Tehran.

Shortly after his IRGC-engineered win, Ahmadinejad, a former
senior IRGC commander, vowed to "spread the Islamic Revolution throughout the
world." With the full blessing of Khamenei, he staffed the top tiers of his
cabinet and diplomatic corps with veteran IRGC commanders. Today, nearly
one-third of the parliament is comprised of IRGC members.
The political rise of the IRGC reflects Ayatollah Khamenei's
strategic calculation that backing down in the nuclear standoff and in Iraq
would jeopardize the survival of the theocratic regime. He said as much last
year: "Any retreat [in the nuclear field] will open the way for a series of
endless pressure and never-ending back downs." |

The Revolutionary Guard is at war with the United States. Why not fight back?
Source: Washington Post - Editorial
IRAN'S REVOLUTIONARY Guard Corps is a sprawling organization involved
in myriad activities, including guarding borders, pumping oil,
operating ports, smuggling, manufacturing pharmaceuticals, building
Iran's nuclear program -- and supplying the weapons that are killing a
growing number of American soldiers in Iraq. According to the Pentagon,
one-third of the U.S. troops who died in Iraq last month -- 23 soldiers
-- were killed by "explosively formed penetrators," sophisticated bombs
supplied by Tehran. Iran also delivers rockets and other weapons to
Shiite militias; on Sunday, Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch said that about 50
members of the Revolutionary Guard Corps were operating in the area
south of Baghdad, where they are "facilitating training of Shiite
extremists."

On the surface, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's visit to Tehran
on Aug. 8 to talk with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was another effort
to enlist Iran's help in bringing security to Iraq. The real purpose,
however, was quite different. Al-Maliki's trip helped smooth the way
for the Iranian clerics to install a sister Islamic republic in Iraq.

As the zealous enforcers of Iran's Islamic revolution, they are at
pains to be seen living humbly, maintaining homes in the crumbling
Soviet-style slums of downtown Teheran and driving modest, imported
Korean cars.
But for many commanders of the Revolutionary Guards, the force
allegedly responsible for ordering attacks on British and US forces in
Iraq, life is rather more luxurious than they want it to appear.
