I was waiting for that. Thank you.
To put it very briefly, over the past decade there has been a shift of power away from the clerical establishment toward the IRGC and the progressive militarization of the regime in Iran. The IRGC today controls significant elements of the economy, and that's why some of the sanctions are geared toward the IRGC's grip on power and its access to those sources of funds.
The IRGC, on the one hand, is really the enforcement of the regime, but on the other hand, the rank and file of the IRGC are not necessarily sympathetic to the regime. During the violent repression of the Green Movement the regime could not count on IRGC's soldiers to shoot people on the streets, which is why it had to hire these Basij plainclothes thugs to do the dirty work, and there were rumblings within the IRGC that we refused to shoot our people in the streets.
On the one hand, I think that the leadership of the IRGC has to be isolated. Whether the best way of doing that is through branding it as a terrorist organization or not is a matter of some discussion, but at the same time, one should also reach out to the rank and file of the IRGC and say that the international community's fight is not with them, but it is with their leaders, who are essentially in power to enjoy all the benefits and privileges, including corruption, which is why the rank and file has become alienated from its own leadership.
