Iranian Spy Executed for Involvement in Revolutionary Guard's Takeover of Economy

Secret documents obtained by the People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (MEK) opposition group indicate that Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has effectively taken control of the country’s economy through companies it operates, making the military outfit a key decision-maker on foreign policy. The documents dealt with the activities of the Resistance Economy Headquarters, an organization set up after the US killed senior IRGC commander General Qassem Soleimani in a missile strike in 2020. The MEK claims that trade with Iran is funding the IRGC and its military operations, including internal repression, terror, regional warfare, and the program to acquire nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.
