Iran's environmental crisis is exacerbated by the IRGC's extensive military activities within protected natural habitats. While Iranian officials condemn foreign attacks on ecosystems, the regime itself prioritizes ideological and military goals over environmental protection. The IRGC has established military infrastructure, including roads and bases, in protected areas without environmental oversight, often denying access to environmental officials. This has led to habitat fragmentation, wildlife disturbance, and significant destruction, particularly in areas like the Kosalan and Shaho Protected Area and Khojir National Park, which is also near a missile production complex.
