Saturday's Final Word
The US and Iran are preparing for talks on a deal to end the war, which could unlock billions of dollars for Iran and reopen its economy to global investment. However, the deal may strengthen the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a force considered a terrorist organization by the US and its Western allies. The IRGC is poised to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of any financial rewards from sanctions relief, renewed oil exports, and foreign investment.
- ▪Iran's Revolutionary Guards have built a sprawling commercial empire spanning oil and construction, shipping, telecommunications, and ports.
- ▪The IRGC is uniquely positioned to capture a large share of any financial rewards from sanctions relief, renewed oil exports, and foreign investment.
- ▪Hezbollah has fired 147 rockets, 20 UAVs and 9 anti-tank missiles in the past 24 hours alone, despite ceasefire and truce agreements.
