The Belief Behind Iran's Revolutionary Guard

What if I told you Iran won’t capitulate to the most powerful military in the world because they believe a Muslim Messiah, called the Mahdi, who's been alive and in hiding for over a thousand years, could reappear at any moment along with Jesus Christ, and the two will work together to defeat America, and set up a worldwide Muslim Kingdom on earth. The return of the Mahdi is very real to Iranian Shiite Clerics and the IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps) who see themselves as the army that will fight alongside the Mahdi when he returns. So, who is this Mahdi? The Muslim Messiah? There’s more to this story; it’s what motivates Iran's leadership, and it’s one that your news isn’t covering.
