"The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ground forces number more than 150,000 troops, per the Council on Foreign Relations, on top of the Basij paramilitary force and Iran's larger conventional Army."
"Kelly Grieco, a senior fellow at the Stimson Center, says those two metrics are 'problematic,' emphasizing that launch rates are a hazy metric to demonstrate diminished capability."
"'If it's not that we've destroyed capability, capacity ... it means that they have more in reserve, which means that at some point they could decide to use that,' she said."
Iran remains active in military operations against Israel and Gulf nations, despite assertions of a concluded war. The U.S. is contemplating deploying 10,000 additional troops to the region. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has over 150,000 troops, and Israel has targeted key military leaders, resulting in significant casualties. While U.S. officials report a decrease in Iran's missile and drone attacks, experts caution that this may not indicate diminished capability, suggesting Iran could still have reserves to utilize in future conflicts.
