“The IRGC is not just a terror machine. It controls the lion’s share of the Iranian economy. It controls many economic conglomerates, from oil, gas and petrochemicals, to pharmaceutical, food, and farm products to banking, investment, the auto, airline, aerospace, and shipping industries, ports, highway and railway construction, and much more,” said the NCRI US representative, adding, “All such entities must be identified and blacklisted.”
She emphasized that with the IRGC now designated, it is time to focus on classifying the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) as an FTO. “Just in 2018, five Iranian regime diplomats, including an Ambassador were expelled by France, The Netherlands, and Albania, all on terrorism charges, one diplomat is in jail for delivering the deadly explosives in a failed terror plot in Paris, and a dozen other MOIS agents have been detained in Europe and the United States,” the representative recalled.
The MOIS and the IRGC actively work together in hatching terror plots and assassinations outside Iran.
Since 1981, the National Council of Resistance of Iran and its main component, the Mujahedin-e Khalq, also known as MEK Iran, have repeatedly underscored the role of the IRGC in domestic repression, warmongering, terrorism and hostage-taking abroad.
In a series of books, publications, as well as press conferences and panels, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) has detailed the Rise of the Revolutionary Guards Financial Empire and, how with the blessing of the regime’s Supreme Leader, it managed to gradually gain control of a large segment of the Iranian economy, using the revenues and the profits to fund its terrorist operations in Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq and beyond.
