Per 2023 report, "the Islamic Republic’s Revolutionary Guards ([(IRGC]]) have made a criminal Iran’s leading drug lord."<ref>Staff, [https://www.iranintl.com/en/202305171838 Criminal Kingpin Leads Drugs Trade Thanks To IRGC], Iran International, 18 May 2023 .<blockquote><small>

Information obtained by Iran International shows how Naji Sharifi-Zindashti and his cartel now dominate the narcotics trade thanks to the support of the government militia. His extraordinary rise comes despite his having killed a prison guard in Iran and fleeing abroad, only to return with impunity. Investigative reporter Mojtaba Pourmohsen has uncovered how a recent rise in the number of executions of convicts sentenced to death on drug-related charges is the result of infighting between rival drug cartels with connections within the ranks of the IRGC.</small></blockquote></ref>
