The new U.S. government has been called by policymakers to support designating of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization. They mentioned its ongoing support of the Assad regime, where hundreds of thousands have been killed during the civil war. Residents of the former Camp Liberty came under attacks from the IRGC on a number of occasions. The lawmakers have also called for continued sanctions against the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n
In Iran no real political change has occurred although Rouhani\u2019s government has been eager to appear as if they are mending international fences. However, reports from inside Iran by various agencies specify that Executions are on the rise and human rights violations happen at an shocking rate, despite multiple calls to stop these actions by the international community and human rights organizations.<\/p>\n
Various international leaders have noted that this so called \u201creformist-moderate\u201d has only further fortified the position of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). The two supposedly conflicting political groups within Iran provide a pseudo-democratic government, but Khamenei holds all true power in Iran. He has the last word on national security and foreign policy matters.<\/p>\n
The goal of the Iranian media is to make it appear as if the two camps have tensions over the nuclear deal, but this drama sways attention away from how policy is really made in Iran. Khamenei\u2019s control over the elections occurs because he vets each and every candidate and bars anyone deemed unsuitable.<\/p>\n
The international sanctions had taken an economic toll in Iran, including the coffers of the IRGC. Khamenei has used the nuclear deal as a way to revive the IRGC\u2019s economic stature. It has been described as \u201ca major force when it comes to controlling Iran\u2019s economy. Many Iranians in and out of the country have called the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps \u2018Iran\u2019s mafia\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 37-year-old experience of the destructive and murderous mullahs\u2019 regime in my country has shown that no degree of political and economic concessions, which have been carried out at the expense of the Iranian people, have led to a change of behavior or policies of the Iranian regime either inside or outside of Iran,\u201d said Iranian opposition leader Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).<\/p>\n
Trump administration along with the International leaders, should try to use the current nuclear deal to force Iran to abide by current international laws and standards, as well as the termination of the IRGC. Further, the NCRI and other organizations have indicated that the IRGC is going to have a major influence on Iranian policy. They crack down on opposition within the country, particularly religious minorities and protestors of any kind. As more foreign businesses start working with Iran again, the IRGC is also benefiting from the new revenue.<\/p>\n
IRGC is also getting a major part of Iran\u2019s budget, while at the same time, claiming to be a terrorist force on the ground in Iraq, Syria and other parts of the Middle East. They claim to fight extremism, but instead extend Iran\u2019s military presence into multiple countries in the region. Some nations have chosen to ignore the issue for either geopolitical or economic reasons. Other nations have felt threatened into inaction.<\/p>\n
The IRGC is Iran\u2019s main instrument for exporting extremism and terrorism, until the international community puts its foot down. The Trump administration is also going to try to persuade Russia to end its relationship with Iran and cooperate with the U.S. policy to counteract Iran\u2019s influence in the region.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration is going to attempt to persuade Russia to cut ties with Iran and end arms sales to this regime. Trump has also been critical of the nuclear deal negotiated by former President Barack Obama.<\/p>\n
