Sanctions Relief Could Boost Economic Power of Iran's Revolutionary Guards

If US sanctions are eased or fully lifted, the economic influence of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in key sectors such as oil, infrastructure, and trade is expected to expand further. This suggests that the IRGC could emerge as the biggest winner in the country's new economic era. The IRGC already plays a significant role in Iran's economy, and with the relaxation of sanctions, this role is expected to become even more pronounced. In particular, increased oil exports and accelerated investment in infrastructure projects in the energy sector could directly benefit companies under the IRGC's control. Analysts note that the lifting of sanctions would accelerate Iran's integration into global markets, but the growing economic weight of the IRGC in this process could affect the competitive environment and foreign investor confidence. This is considered a key factor for international companies operating especially in the energy and trade sectors. This is not investment advice.
