Reports of $1 Billion IRGC Transfer to Hezbollah Fuel Domestic Anger
Reports emerge that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps transferred more than $1 billion to Hezbollah in Lebanon during the first ten months of 2025, even as Iran's domestic economy spiraled into crisis. The revelation, circulated on social media and picked up by reformist outlets, intensifies public anger at the regime's spending priorities. Critics argue the funds could have been used to stabilize the rial or subsidize food imports at a time when household purchasing power has collapsed.
