Why Iran’s regime is afraid of growing calls for the disbanding of the IRGC
In a recent address, Iranian Resistance leader Massoud Rajavi called for the dismantlement of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), the Iranian regime’s main implement of suppression and terrorism. Mr. Rajavi emphasized that the IRGC’s budget and assets must be allocated to people’s health and to counter the coronavirus outbreak in Iran, which has now resulted in 108,800 human casualties in 440 cities checkered across the country.
