Inside the alleged IRGC Intelligence takeover of Iran’s sanctioned oil trade

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Intelligence Organization orchestrated a quasi-coup to capture Iran sanctioned oil trade and revive a domestic corruption network. Documents reviewed by Iran International reveal that security officials and the Oil Ministry engaged in a fierce power struggle over oil sales. Meanwhile, the United States Treasury reported that an international pressure campaign launched two months ago has severely curtailed Iranian oil revenue and blocked access to global financial channels. This economic isolation deepens as billions in unpaid debts within the oil sales network face public scrutiny from journalists.

  1. IRGC Intelligence Seizes Control of Iran Sanctioned Oil Trade

    The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Intelligence Organization orchestrated a quasi-coup to capture Iran sanctioned oil trade and revive a domestic corruption network. Documents reviewed by Iran International reveal that security officials and the Oil Ministry engaged in a fierce power struggle over oil sales. Meanwhile, the United States Treasury reported that an international pressure campaign launched two months ago has severely curtailed Iranian oil revenue and blocked access to global financial channels. This economic isolation deepens as billions in unpaid debts within the oil sales network face public scrutiny from journalists.

    Why it matters

    The alleged takeover highlights severe internal fractures within the Iranian state regarding the management of critical economic lifelines under heavy international sanctions. Control over oil sales provides immense financial resources and leverage, making the sector a prime target for powerful military factions like the Revolutionary Guards. The collision between security apparatuses and civilian ministries exposes deep governance vulnerabilities as state revenues dwindle.
