The Sanctions Deal Could Hand Iran's Most Powerful Military Force a Financial Windfall
The same deal that might end a four-month US-Iran war could also pour cash into the Revolutionary Guard Corps -- the very organization Washington brands a terrorist group. Iran says oil sanctions waivers are drafted and coming soon, but the real question isn't gas prices. It's who inside Iran gets rich when the money starts flowing again.
Bottom Line
Iran says oil sanctions waivers are drafted and imminent, but the underreported story is who benefits inside Iran. Lifting sanctions risks channeling fresh revenue to the IRGC -- the Guards' business empire stands to win big -- creating a deal that may end one war while strengthening a long-term adversary. And the 'soon' timeline rests on Iran's word alone, not a signed agreement.
