Inside the mind of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard

UANI Director of IRGC Research Kasra Aarabi and UANI Senior Advisor Dr. Saeid Golkar write: "Imam Hossein University, the academic arm of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), recently convened its third ‘International Conference on the Decline of the United States’. Billed as an academic gathering, the event is in fact a ritual reaffirmation of a central article of faith within the Guard: that America’s era of dominance is over and that Iran’s Islamic Revolution stands among the forces hastening its fall. The conference’s official website quotes Samuel P. Huntington’s theory of cyclical US decline, before proclaiming that the 21st century marks the definitive collapse of western hegemony and the rise of a new Islamic-led world order."
