So, my reading of this is that the Sepah-e Pasdaran has grown from a small cadre to the controller of the majority of Irans military power, intelligence services and enforcement of the Revolutionary Islamic theocracy. Since the last elections where the positions were stacked in favour of the conservatives they now also control the political apparatus. Nominally they are under the control of Ali Khamene'i but are in fact a law unto themselves.
Xerxes? Comments?
