While rooted in severe economic grievances, these demonstrations have evolved into a powerful indictment of the regime&#8217;s systemic corruption, with protesters directly targeting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc-part-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)<\/a> and financial institutions controlled by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
