Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps may gain substantial financial benefits if US sanctions are lifted as part of a peace deal, as they have expanded their economic influence during years of sanctions and could pose challenges to sanctions relief efforts.

• Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) could benefit significantly if US sanctions are lifted as part of a peace deal.
• The IRGC has built a vast commercial empire across multiple sectors, including oil, construction, and telecommunications, during years of sanctions.
• The IRGC's deep involvement in Iran's economy may complicate efforts to lift sanctions due to its designation as a terrorist organization.
