Descriptions

Paramilitary wing of the Revolutionary Committees Movement, a key component of the Qadhafi regime’s internal security system. Commanded by Hasan el-Kabir Al-Kadafi, cousin of Muammar Qadhafi.

— Australian Sanctions Consolidated List,

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)’s goal is to safeguard the Iranian regime against internal and external threats. It is a key part of Iran’s security and intelligence community, controls Iran’s ballistic missile and unmanned aerial vehicle arsenal, conducts overseas operations, and is Iran’s main link to its regional proxies (collectively known as the “Axis of Resistance”), including Canadian-designated terrorist entities such as Hizballah and Hamas. IRGC forces are comprised of IRGC-Ground Forces, IRGC-Navy, IRGC-Aerospace Force, the Basij Forces, the Al-Qods Force (IRGC-QF, listed on Canada’s Terrorist Entities List since 2012), as well as a counter intelligence directorate and representatives of the Supreme Leader of Iran. The IRGC is heavily involved in commercial and business activities in Iran, controlling multiple commercial entities and wielding influence across a wide range of sectors within the Iranian economy. The profits from these activities are used to support the full range of the IRGC’s illicit operations, including support for terrorism. With the knowledge, support, and direction of the Iranian regime, the IRGC has knowingly carried out terrorist acts utilizing its intelligence organization and the IRGC-QF, and has knowingly acted in association with listed terrorist entities, such as IRGC-QF, Hizballah, Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
