How Iran's role in Middle East boomed since 1979 revolution
Thursday 07 February 2019 16:14 CET
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard was established in the wake of the Islamic Revolution 40 years ago to protect its ideals.
Since then, its role has expanded making it a powerful institution with influence both within Iran's political leadership and beyond the country’s borders.
The Guard's efforts in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and elsewhere have given Iran a place in Middle Eastern political affairs.
