2.4) Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps ("IRGC")
2.5) Iranian Qods Force ("IRGC-QF")

3) The Intellipedia entry on the Secure Internet Protocol Router Network ("SIPRNET") for the following topics:

The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
