Brigadier General Hossein Dehghan—Iran’s Next President?

Khoshnood, Ardavan LU orcid (2020) In Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, Perspective Papers
Abstract
Brigadier General Hossein Dehghan, a commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has announced his candidacy for the Iranian presidential elections in June 2021. Dehghan has a toxic military background. In the 1980s he was responsible for the vicious crackdown on opponents of the Islamic regime, and he played a central role in the bombing of the US Marine barracks in Beirut that killed hundreds. He may well become the new president of the Islamic regime as more military men are expected to run for the office.
