The Revolutionary Guard and Qasem Soleimani

The Revolutionary Guard and Qasem Soleimani embody both sides of the Islamic Republic of Iran's identity.

And on the other, they behave cynically and try to dominate the affairs of the Middle East at any human cost. In this episode, we're going to explore the origins of the IRGC and the story across some Soleimani to understand what their impact has been on the Iran-U.S. relationship.
