English term or phrase: Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps
Greetings... salaam...

If convenient, could someone kindly send me the correct rendition, in Persian text, as appears in Iranian media of the term:

Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps

Best guess: sepaahii paasdaaaran (???) Iraanii

I have heard so many variant renditions or speculations here in California about the complete term, that I think it's better to ask for clarification by someone familiar with the term used in Iranian media.

Khailii mutshakkeram in advance for this kind assistance.

Beh eHteraam...

Although, we can say revolutionary forces, but revolution is preferred means guard corps defend the Islamic revolution.

If you say sepaahii instead of sepAh-e and ii here is equal to e it is correct, since we pronounce e but we don not write it and its role is connecting between two words.

The selected answerer provided explanation, context and a helpful URL for reference (managed to read that page, despite my rusty ability to read Persian text).

This selection was a hard choice between the two good replies, and I wish to thank both respondents for their kind assistance. I also extend a special note of parallel thanks to my colleague and friend Fuad Yahya for his helpful indication of searching for such Persian terms via < wikipedia > in the future.

"Khailli mamnoon" to all parties, both the gracious respondents and the commentators for their useful, and appreciated, entries.
