Episode 62-The IRGC Command Network: Formal Structures and Informal Influence

Will Fulton (@FultonWill) talks to me (@rejectionking) about his new paper "The IRGC Command Network: Formal Structures and Informal Influence". The focus of the interview includes a discussion of Will's paper, the history of the IRGC's command network, what are the views of this group on pressing Iranian security issues, its reaction to Hassan Rouhani, and lastly what should we expect of Rouhani in regards to how he will deal with the IRGC command network.
