Charity at the core of the Quds Force’s domestic business activities. Created by Hossein Marashi, a relative of the late former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani while he was governor of Kerman. The founders originally intended MMC to be an organization that brought together the most important officials in Kerman—the governor, the Friday prayer leader, and the IRGC commander—on its board of trustees. This political, religious, and paramilitary trio were to lead efforts to develop the province’s economy, but in practice, MMC became a financial vehicle for funneling state funds to Quds Force–owned businesses.
