Abstract
Devrim Muhafızları’nın İran siyaseti üzerindeki etkisi 1990’ların ortalarından beri belirgin bir şekilde artmıştır. Devrim Muhafızları Hatemi’nin liderliğindeki reformcu hükümet ile çatışma içerisinde iken onun yerini alan Ahmedinecad liderliğindeki radikal hükümetle işbirliği içerisinde olmuştur. Bu makale, Devrim Muhafızları’nın siyasi yükselişinde etkili olan faktörleri ve Devrim Muhafızları-siyaset ilişkilerinin nasıl şekillendiğini incelemektedir. Makalede Muhafızların İran siyasetindeki yükselişi Devrim Muhafızları Ordusu ekseninde ve devrim sonrası ortaya çıkan dinamikler çerçevesinde tartışılmaktadır. 1990’lı yıllarda kurumsallaşmasını tamamlayan ideolojik düzeyi yüksek devrimci ordunun, siyasi elitler arasındaki bölünme ve şiddetli rekabet ortamında öneminin arttığı görülmektedir. Böyle bir ortamda İran rejimine yönelik tehdit algılarının niteliğinin değişmesi; askeri tehditlerin yerini kültürel saldırı, kadife devrim girişimi gibi “yumuşak” tehditlere bırakması, Devrim Muhafızları’nın hızla siyasal alana yönelmesine neden olmuştur. Devrim Muhafızları’nın ideolojik-siyasi bakışı ile hükümette egemen elitlerin ideolojik duruşları arasındaki fark veya uyum Devrim Muhafızları’nın hükümetle ilişkilerinin niteliğini belirlemiştir.

Abstract
Influence of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) on Iranian politics has dramatically increased since the mid-1990s. Whereas the IRGC was in conflict with the reformist government under Khatami, it has closely cooperated with the radical government of Ahmadinejad that replaced the reformist one. This article analyzes influential factors on the political rise of the Guards, and the the velvet revolution plot has rapidly increased the IRGC’s interest in the polate 1990s. Meanwhile, altering threat perceptions of the Iranian regime; replacement of the military threats by ‘soft’ threats as the cultural onslaught, and face of fragmentation of the elites and bitter rivalry among them through the high-level ideological commitment, the IRGC came into prominence in the characteristics of the IRGC. As an institutionalized revolutionary army with politics is studied within the framework of post-revolutionary dynamics and types of the IRGC – politics relationship. The rise of the Guards in Iranian litical realm. Congruence or incongruence between the ideological/political outlook of the IRGC and ideological position of the ruling elites has determined type of the IRGC/politics relationship
