10, 2010; A10 TEHRAN --A major expansion in the role played by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps is giving the elite force new economic and political clout, but it could also complicate efforts by the United States and its allies to put pressure on the Iranian regime, according to U.S. officials and outside analysts.

... The war also caused permanent disability (both physical and psychological), internal and external (overseas) displacement of civilians, and exceptional destruction of properties, social structure, and ecosystems [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The armed manifestation of the Sri Lankan ethnic conflict emerged in the mid-1970s and was brought to an end in May 2009 resulting in more than 40,000 deaths of civilians with indiscriminate shelling and bombing by the state as the rebels held the civilian population hostage, and many more injuries and unacknowledged war crimes [19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. ...
