Iran’s regime plans to give power, profits to terrorism-linked group, documents reveal
IRGC would control industrial facilities, economic decision-making
Fox News, May 11, 2023
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran (IRGC) stands to take control of Iran’s economy by gaining full power over the “economic arteries” of the country, according to an anti-regime group.
“The documents unveiled by the MEK unequivocally demonstrate that regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has granted the IRGC complete authority over Iran’s economy,” Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the Washington office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), told Fox News Digital.
“This unprecedented move enables the IRGC to not only bypass international sanctions but also amass the requisite resources to carry out domestic oppression, destabilize the region, perpetrate acts of terrorism, cyberwarfare, and expedite the advancement of its missile, drone and nuclear weapons programs,” he added.
A group affiliated with the MEK recently obtained a trove of data and defaced the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s website, leaking the names of more than 11,000 ministry employees, ministry correspondences and identification documents. The MEK and NCRI are also credited with revealing in 2002 that Iran was developing nuclear weapons capabilities.
