"The appointment of an IRGC general as a defense adviser reflects the same strategic trend as the IRGC's active military engagement (downing a US drone), demonstrating the deepening integration of the IRGC into Iran's state-level military and political decision-making processes."
"Both events occur in Tehran and signal Iran's consolidation of its security and diplomatic posture. The visit of the Pakistan Army Chief and the appointment of an IRGC adviser both highlight the strengthening of Iran's military alliances and internal command structures during a period of heightened regional tension."
