IRGC Orchestrates Quasi-Coup to Control Iran's Sanctioned Oil Trade
A new report reveals that the IRGC Intelligence Organization has carried out a quasi-coup to regain control over Iran's sanctioned oil trade channels.

IRGC Takes Control of Sanctioned Oil Trade
According to a report by Iran International, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Intelligence Organization has orchestrated a quasi-coup aimed at regaining control over Iran's sanctioned oil trade. The development points to an internal power struggle within Iran regarding the management of vital oil revenue channels.
The report states that the IRGC is attempting to revive its established network of trustees responsible for managing the flow of sanctioned oil. Several IRGC officials are allegedly involved in the maneuver, which highlights deep divisions within the country's leadership structure.
Shifting Channels and Internal Power Dynamics
Further detailing the operational shifts, the reporting indicates a transfer of oil revenue channels from the UAE to Russia. Observers note that this geographic relocation may signify an effort to solidify the existing trustee network rather than dismantle it entirely.
Market participants and analysts are keeping a close watch on statements from key Iranian figures, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, for signs of broader political shifts. Public stances taken by influential figures such as Mojtaba Khamenei or the IRGC could heavily influence future market perceptions as the situation develops.
