Major Beneficiaries of the Iran Deal: IRGC and Hezbollah (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781518798191)

As we confront the fallout from the Iran nuclear deal, it is important that we examine two critical networks that stand to gain the most from sanctions relief: The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iran's proxy, Hezbollah. Made up of at least 150,000 personnel, the Revolutionary Guard Corps is responsible for Iran's external and internal security. It oversees the Quds Force, the asymmetric war and terror operators of the IRGC, who are behind the deaths of hundreds of American service men and women and coalition forces in Iraq and who continue to plan operations on the ground in Iraq and Syria while undermining our national security interests. The second organization that will benefit enormously from sanctions relief is one of the world's most dangerous and capable terror organizations, Hezbollah. Trained, equipped, and funded by the Quds Force, Hezbollah is said to be responsible for some of the world's most infamous terror attacks, including the 1983 U.S. Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, the bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, and the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing.
