Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Maj. Gen. Yahya Safavi has become one of the most important men in Iran, responsible for the nation's increasingly powerful military arsenal. Safavi has developed a force of up to 10 million soldiers that is separate from Iran's regular military and responsible only to the ruling mullahs.Over the past three years, the IRGC has been given the best of Iran's weapons and platforms. The force has developed and maintained control over Iran’s entire strategic arsenal and was responsible for securing the nation's nuclear program.
"The IRGC began as a buffer against a military coup," a Western intelligence source said. "Today, it is far superior in strength to the regular military and can conduct the bulk of the fighting against any enemy, including the United States."
This has made Safavi one of the most powerful men in Iran. Under his tutelage, the IRGC, backed by the paramilitary Basij, has become a formidable fighting machine, capable of conducting sustained missile and rocket attacks throughout the entire Gulf and against the U.S. military presence in Iraq
