At the beginning of its formation, the IRGC was formed from a group of several hundred people. But in a period of less than two years, it turned into an extensive military organization with organized bodies. That is, it organized small, nameless groups into associations, battalions, and brigades. This unique, extraordinary phenomenon has continued up until today. After about four decades, we have the largest counter-terrorism organization in the world. Today, the IRGC is the largest counter-terrorism organization in all the world. It is a well-equipped military organization. It is an efficient, independent organization that is capable of doing things that many of the world’s greatest armies are incapable of doing
