IRGC could emerge as major winners from US deal - Reuters

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is uniquely positioned to benefit from any economic gains generated by sanctions relief, Reuters reported citing for senior Iranian sources.

The report says renewed oil exports and foreign investment could bring a windfall for the guards if negotiations between Washington and Tehran succeed.

For years, the Guards expanded their influence under sanctions, building a vast commercial network spanning energy, construction, shipping, telecommunications, ports and other strategic sectors of the economy.
