Iran operates a deliberately complex military structure, which keeps the IRGC separate from the regular army (Artesh) and is designed to prevent coups and absorb shocks. Al Jazeera's Ali Hashem breaks down Iran's military.

One-page overview of the IRGC. Follow: @ImperialMaps

Basically it is built to deny Iranian people any possibility to decide about their own fate.

They seem to be absorbing the shocks really well.

All this loud noise of complex systems and mosaic structures without weapons ends with wailing and absolute defeat. When all the ships, missiles and drones including their launchers and manufacturing plants are destroyed what will the mosaic use to defend the homeland guess their barehands. Air defences gone, anti aircraft missiles gone, skies effectively dominated , they can use ak47 to defend the territory and see how that goes. I will repeat the excursion is complete. Free the oppressed people of Iran cut the losses, use the oil money to develop the country Period.

Best part is the line up of leadership. They know who will be next leader immediately the current falls. I am sure they already know who will be their 26th presidents next week. Incase somehow 25 presidents die this week.

This dual system isn’t accidental: it was set up to prevent any single force from becoming powerful enough to challenge the leadership, and to absorb shocks during war or political crises by distributing roles across multiple, semi‑independent institutions

Call it what it is. A religious military dictatorship.

Here is the power structure

that system is good does not allow corruption long live Iran

It’s a matter of time

They also train Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iraq in assymetric warfare If Trump decides to use ground forces they won't know what hit them

this helps with internal stability and preventing

Why do not Al Jazeera also run a similar detail on what Israel and America do?

Comparable to the German Wehrmacht and the SS in the 3. Reich!

Proud of them 🤍... Praying for their victory always...

Its like having rebels in the country

IRGC are thugs meant to protect the jihadist ideology of the regime. The army has neen defanged by the regime to be a useless force incapable of protecting the country

Weak Nation's Always Remain Slaves of Enemy..

More power to Iranians.

Unfortunately for them, It’s all history now.

Iran’s military isn’t a single chain of command it’s layered and deliberate, designed to safeguard the regime and absorb shocks from internal or external threats. �

That’s so funny in there initiating Declaration they talk about protecting against coups and internal takeover

Respect IRGC 🇮🇷🚀🤩💓😍

Yes, Iran's military architecture is intentionally designed with a deliberate complexity and redundancy, centered on maintaining two parallel armed forces: the regular army (Artesh, or Islamic Republic of Iran Army) and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, or Sepah-e Pasdaran).

If there is anything a despot or despotic regime fears most it is an insider threat or a coup.

@MbuyiseniNdlozi Hyping nonsense

Some of the commanders turn out to be mossad agents

Iran weakness is air defense capability. They take lots of hits.

@GeromanAT We need power
