Trump's Bluster and the IRGC's Resilience The recent exchange between President Donald Trump and Fox Business hosts revealed more about his approach to dealing with Iran than any well calibrated diplomatic strategy.
In characteristic bluster, Trump hinted that he might seek to "wipe out" the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a move with far reaching consequences for regional stability and global politics.
The IRGC's rise to power dates back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which saw it emerge as a powerful force within Iran.
