Changes in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard: Preparations for Conflict?
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Iran Desk - The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has undergone a new round of senior appointments and structural changes in its key intelligence, security, and cultural branches. The appointments reflect Iran's preparation, domestically and externally, for a protracted campaign. Hossein Salami and Ali Fadavi are expected to contend with military threats from the U.S. and other "enemies of Iran," while Hossein Taib and Mohammad Reza Naqdi are expected to respond to domestic threats, particularly a civil insurrection in light of the rapid aggravation of the economic crisis amid tightening U.S. sanctions.
