I’m proud that Iran just flat out refused to sell out to capital

They're getting $300B from this deal. How much of that is going to get to the Iranian people, and how much will the IRGC just keep for themselves?

    First of all, the IRGC is not the government of Iran. The IRGC is Iran's second army. It gets hyped up in Western media for propaganda purposes.

    However, the IRGC does have construction companies tied to it that likely will get a lot of the reconstruction contracts. I don't think that's what you're insinuating, though.

    I might clarify that "selling out to capital" is not the same as getting money. Capital is the ruling class that wants to privatize the national wealth of all countries, and Iran is a major pain in their ass.
