IRGC Exports Islamic Revolution, Not Iranian Interests, Analysts Warn

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps operates as a state-within-a-state, controlling Iran's wealth and exporting revolutionary ideology rather than serving Iranian national interests, making any institutional moderation impossible. This entrenched revolutionary structure keeps Iran on a permanent war footing against Israel and the West, fulfilling the prophetic pattern of a hostile northern and eastern power bloc aligned against God's purposes. Scripture identifies a coalition of nations — including Persia (modern Iran) — that will move against Israel in the last days, as foretold in Ezekiel 38:5.
