^ No, the SS never turned against or ignored Hitler.

The analogy best suited would be the Roman Praetorians. Founded as an elite group to protect he Ceasar, they started their own political games and interest things and sometimes turned against and handed over the Ceasar to assassination (if not doing it themselves). They got corrupt several times during their existence. Ceasars needed to not ignore their interests.

The Iranian RG is not automatically loyal to the Iranian president, or the ordinary military.
