This chapter traces the history of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from the Iranian revolution to today. It examines how Iran's adoption of a forward defense strategy has shaped not just its proxies and the locales where it intervenes, but also the identity of the IRGC itself. The chapter explores how manpower shortages and the dynamics of signaling capability to the U.S. raise questions about the sustainability of Iranian strategy and the ways Iranian strategy will play a significant role in shaping the Middle East of the future. |
