bsriharsha Posted April 20 Posted April 20 10 hours ago, kepler37b said: Once the mullah came to power, he suppressed the other groups and IRGC was born out of that blood lust. It is not a genuine anti-western group. It is a islamic fundamentalist terrorist organization that is designed to suppress other political factions. The Khomeini started the IRGC to suppress the other groups. They gained predominance during the Iraq war. They then transformed themselves into a radical Pakistan Army-Islamic Terror outfit. The IRGC have their interests in construction, communication and other companies as well. They are well entrenched in Iran's civilian life as well. It's not easy to get rid of them now. kepler37b 1

Just like how Shah's bootlicking of western companies impacted their livelihood. Once ceasefire happens, the next few years are going to be tumultuous.

The western countries ousting Mosaddeq and then using their stooges in the Pahlavi's or the Ayatollah's.
