Iran-backed militias are reportedly sending money back to the cash-starved Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The reporting on the extent of the financial support from militias to the IRGC is largely consistent across outlets.

The Telegraph and Axios both mention that Iran's proxies are propping up Tehran with financial support, according to the U.S. However, the exact mechanisms and scope of this support are not specified in the coverage.

The full extent of the IRGC's financial situation and the implications of this reported support remain unclear.
