WHO IS THE IRGC PART 4 of 4 #history #iran #geopolitics

History Onion · Part 4 · 3:00

In Part 3, we saw how Qasem Soleimani built an empire stretching from Tehran to Beirut — and turned the IRGC into a state within a state. This is the final chapter. January 3rd, 2020. Just after 1 AM in Baghdad. An American Reaper drone is watching the airport as Soleimani's plane lands. The order has come from Donald Trump. Within seconds, Hellfire missiles tear through his convoy and the most powerful man in the Iranian regime is dead. But killing the man does not kill the network. The proxies activate. October 7. Hezbollah. The Houthis. Nasrallah killed in his Iranian-built bunker. Iran's own people slaughtered in the streets. And in February 2026, the United States and Israel finally strike Iran itself — and the IRGC fires back with everything it has built over forty-seven years. This is the final part of our 4-part series on the dark history of the IRGC. If you missed Parts 1, 2, or 3, watch the full series from the beginning to see how the most dangerous force in the Middle East was born. Some scenes are cinematic reconstructions of documented events. All quotes, dates, and sources are historically verified.
