### Quds Force Economics, Potential Geopolitical Collusion

- **Episode:** [1205: Death Bus](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1205-death-bus.md)
- **Published:** 2020-01-09

The Quds Force is described as an elite unit above the standard Iranian military with significant economic power derived from privatized industries and smuggling networks. A theory is proposed that the Iranian leadership, specifically Ayatollah Khomeini, may have wanted Soleimani removed due to his growing independent power. This suggests a "wag the dog" scenario where both U.S. and Iranian leadership benefit from the removal of a mutual rival.
