I think different branches of military are formed to ensure a loyal force can be sent to quell internal dissent. By having different branches revolution or dissent is less likely because of the fear of oversight and prosecution by a different branch. Of course training them differently can send a more specialized force or one closer.

As an Iranian, I say that unfortunately the information in this video is very wrong and it is just repeating the wrong information of the western media.

[@amankonyak5338]

What's wrong in IRGC strengthening its military. The likes of US labeling them as terrorist organization is ridiculous. Ask yourself, what about Black Waters mercenary organization of US whose crimes went unquestioned in so many countries....!

[@heroessport5804]

If that is what IRGC does then God bless IRGC

[@sisa7436]

Thank you so much Molly

[@alifehresti9982]

Long live Iran! The only 1 unique country which faced heavy western sanctions for almost 50 years and still managed to produce advanced military technology and weapons

[@lindairving4396]

This was the best report on Iran! Thank you Molly! If the military would unite with the protestors there is a chance for Iran..

[@antoniozabatini8623]

There is chance for what you Micky mouse to destabilize iran like what was done in Syria, Libya, Iraq , Afghanistan & Yemen

Protesters are not more than 1% of people.therefore military will never unite them

Unite to do what? To destroy their country like Libyans in favour of devilish western ideas

No matter how powerful a system is, goodness is measured by its humanistic principles and practices of justice and respect for life as was true in Hakhamaneshi.

As an iranian, I am proud of them. Their duty is the name. Revolutionary guards duty is to protect the revolutions goal, so they can operate all around the world.

[@paulsheppard1108]

I wish we black Americans had a operating organ like the revolutionary guard. Benjamin netanyahu will not attack Iran.

They are a corrupt Mafia organisation. Who runs all the smuggling in Iran - including drug smuggling? And control two thirds of the business in Iran? This is a job for the military right? The SL gave them all these 'privileges' in return for protecting him and his Islamic crazies. Death to the Ayatollah!

In less than half a century, despite thousands of sanctions, today Iran is the superpower of the Middle East region, now imagine. If there was no sanctions, what power would he have now?

Perfect job, very close to the truth. I believe in freedom in India and secularism in your democracy. May God bless India. You will survive forever.

[@DariushHakhamaneah]

It is so smart. Like it is a genius move . Khomeini was smart to build such a thing. If you read what happend to Egypt after their revolution and what made them lose it. When you know that IRGC looks an even better . Or what happened to the country which completely destroyed their armies and then got defense less. But Khomeini didn't change the old army but made a new one to guard the revolution .

Quds means Jerusalem

[@goodywardhunt3605]

quds means "holy"... Jerusalem is *nicknamed* "al quds"

[@pooyamz]

@@goodywardhunt3605 Although Quds means holy but the intention of naming this branch of IRGC - SEPAHE QUDS - is based on their goal which is to capture and occupy Jerusalem and return it back to Muslims!!

[@HOTZ7]

Europe and canada has not designated IRGC as a terrorist organiation and has not sanction it in its totality. that is the problem.
