AI Overview
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has assumed de facto control over Iran’s government, economy, and security apparatus, especially after the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. As a military council, they manage daily operations and have blocked presidential decisions, controlling roughly one-third of Iran's GDP, including massive influence over construction, energy, and banking.
3. AI Overview
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is a deeply ideological, hardline Shia Islamist organization dedicated to protecting Iran's 1979 revolution and expanding its influence. It is widely considered a fanatical .....
.......Yes, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) deeply believes in the 12th Imam (Imam Mahdi), a central tenet of Twelver Shiite Islam, and this belief acts as a foundational, ideological, and strategic driver for the organization. The IRGC views itself as a military vehicle designed to prepare the groundwork for the 12th Imam's return to usher in a final era of justice.
4. "...the 12th Imam is held by devout Shi'ite Muslims to be a direct descendant of the Prophet Mohammed who went into "occlusion" in the ninth century at the age of five and hasn't been seen since.
The Hidden Imam, as he is also known by his followers, will only return after a period of cosmic chaos, war and bloodshed – what Christians call the Apocalypse – and then lead the world into an era of universal peace.

Rather than allaying concerns about Iran's nuclear ambitions, Mr Ahmadinejad spoke at length about how a Muslim saviour would relieve the world's suffering.
The really alarming aspect is that – if the world's leading intelligence agencies are to be believed – he is seriously attempting to acquire a nuclear weapons arsenal.
Will the 12th Imam cause war with Iran?
5. "The IRGC's Eschatological Gamble
Whatever clerics and Revolutionary Guards commanders remain standing in Iran are actually men who have spent their entire lives inside an edifice that explicitly defined this moment for them,....expressed in what can only be described as the apocalyptic worldview of Iran’s present rulers. This worldview and expectation, vividly expressed in speeches, articles, and even schoolbooks, clearly shape the perception and therefore the policies of Ahmadinejad and his disciples.”
Indeed, eschatological certainty possesses the capacity to mobilize populations; it’s almost a hypnotic force and grants its believers an enormous power to erode political constraints and manufacture sacrificial commitment on a vast scale. Which is why what distinguishes the IRGC from the ordinary zealot is their simultaneous mastery of genuine belief and its calculated instrumentalization, a combination that renders them considerably more formidable."
