First of all, the I in IRGC stands for Islamic and not Iran. In fact, neither their logo or any of their patches mentions the word IRAN.
As my beloved homeland is, imo, under effective coercive occupation of Islamist ideologues (there is not a even hint of godliness in that regime) it is preferred that you refer to the regime by its name IRI and not cast calumny on the beauty that is IRAN.
- TeaBrain 2y agoI wasn't trying to imply that is its official name, but I have heard it referred to as just the Revolutionary Guard or Iran's Revolutionary Guard(s). https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/irans-revolutionary-guards https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/irans-revolutionary-guards https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/irans-revolutionary-guards-powerful-group-with-wide-regional-reach-2024-04-01/ https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/irans-revolutionar...
- temporarely 2y agoWell, whoever does that is trying to confuse matters. Call them by their name and now you can parse my OP correctly. /end
- TeaBrain 2y agoThe name of the IRGC was not the part of your original comment that I was questioning, but your use of IRI. Did you mean to say that the IRI is no longer in control of the IRGC?
