Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps, also known as the 'Sepah', has wielded considerable and increasing power in Iran in recent decades. Established in 1979 by Ayatollah Khomeini as a paramilitary organisation charged with protecting the nascent Islamic regime and countering the Imperial Army (or 'Artesh') whose loyalty was seen as doubtful, the Sepah has evolved into one of the most powerful political, ideological, military and economic players in Iran over recent years. The Sepah is entrusted with a diverse set of indoctrination apparatuses, training programmes and system welfare provisions intended to broaden support for the regime. Although established as a paramilitary organisation, the Sepah developed to have its own ministry, complex bureaucracy and diversified functions, alongside its own network and personnel. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the Sepah and its role. It examines the position of the Sepah in the Iranian state and society, explores the nature of the Sepah's involvement in politics and discusses the impact of the Sepah's political rise on Iran's economy and foreign policy. Contemporary Iran can only be fully understood by an awareness of the ongoing infighting among regime factions and increasing popular demands for social change - knowing about the Sepah is central to all this.

Et si la République islamique d'Iran, en fait, n'existait plus ? Annoncée depuis plus d'une décennie, la prise du pouvoir par la Légion des Gardiens de la révolution n'aurait-elle pas déjà eu lieu ? Depuis 2016, en effet, un système d'assemblées électives contrôlé par les Gardiens s'est mis en place, parallèlement aux institutions républicaines qu'il tend à vider de leur contenu. Et pourtant, loin d'une sécularisation du régime, que cette militarisation aurait pu entraîner, rarement en Iran le religieux et le politique auront été aussi intimement liés. Comment l'expliquer, malgré des vagues de contestation populaire, malgré aussi ce que nombre d'anciens de la Légion eux-mêmes dénoncent comme une dérive mafieuse ? En se bureaucratisant, la Légion des Gardiens, constamment, s'est remobilisée, jusqu'à son passage à la soft war et à la cyberguerre grâce à une génération de hackers aguerris dans la lutte contre l'Occident. Parmi les moteurs de cette remobilisation : un ancrage local et communautaire fort qui, mâtiné d'interactions avec les mosquées, constitue une spécificité de cette milice d'État d'un genre particulier

The U.S. ability to ""read"" the Iranian regime and formulate appropriate policies has been weakened by lack of access to the country and by the opacity of decision making in Tehran. To improve understanding of Iran's political system, the authors describe Iranian strategic culture; investigate Iran's informal networks, formal government institutions, and personalities; assess the impact of elite behavior on Iranian policy; and summarize key trends.
