Just so you know, the Republican Guard was the six-divisions (or so) force of Saddam Hussein's army that provided a better trained mobile force to back the poorer quality regular army units that held the front lines. There is no Republican Guard in Iran.
If you are speaking about Iran, the regime's parallel military most loyal to the regime is called the Revolutionary Guard.
I'm just saying. You know, in case you are in a debate or something.
