Iran Assessment
Iran Country BriefIran’s defence sector is at critical risk of corruption, owing to its secretive and largely informal military governance structures. External oversight of the sector is extremely weak, particularly in relation to finances and procurement, where corruption risks are critical. Personnel management and operations are also highly vulnerable due to an absence of anti-corruption safeguards, whilst the public faces huge challenges and dangers when attempting to access defence information.
