Forecast Bullets
- The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps will continue to arrest Iranians with Western citizenship or residency as a way to secure its interests and boost its legitimacy.
- The frequency of arrests may increase as Iran's emergence from international isolation attracts Iranians living abroad to return.
- Such incidents will run counter to President Hassan Rouhani's drive to rejoin the global economy.
