Reuters reports that any potential agreement between Iran and the United States to end the war and ease sanctions could bring significant economic benefits to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Over decades, the IRGC has built a wide network of companies and institutions in oil, construction, shipping, telecommunications and infrastructure. The report says that higher oil exports, foreign investment and a $300 billion reconstruction plan would place the IRGC in a strong position to capture a large share of new contracts and opportunities. Its extensive influence across key sectors makes the IRGC one of the main beneficiaries of any sanctions reduction and economic opening.
