around the world, principally through its Islamic 
Revolutionary Guard Corps–Qods Force (IRGC– 
QF). These groups included Lebanese Hizballah, 
several Iraqi Shia militant groups, Hamas, and Pal-
estine Islamic Jihad. Iran, Hizballah, and other Shia 
militia continued to provide support to the Asad re-
gime, dramatically bolstering its capabilities, pro-
longing the civil war in Syria, and worsening the 
human rights and refugee crisis there.’’. 
(11) The Iranian Government’s tolerance of 
corruption and nepotism in business limits opportu-
nities for foreign and domestic investment, particu-
larly given the significant involvement of the IRGC 
in many sectors of Iran’s economy. 
(12) The IRGC and the leadership-controlled 
bonyads (foundations) control an estimated one-third 
of Iran’s total economy, including large portions of 
Iran’s telecommunications, construction, and airport 
and port operations. These operations give the IRGC 
and bonyads vast funds to support terrorist organi-
zations such as Hezbollah and Hamas. 
(13) By gaining control of major economic sec-
tors, the IRGC and bonyads have also served to fur-
ther disadvantage the average Iranian.
