This is pretty big news.
Who the hell would have thought the Republican Guards would have dissent from within their own ranks? Certainly not me, at least none that would have been made public.
Dead men walking. :-(
Ping.
You know they are trapped when they gnaw their own legs off.
If true its great news....expect Obama to take credit if so.
Obama will be happy to send some Acorn thugs over there to take their places if Ahmanutjob asks him in a nice way. (eye roll)
Thanks for posting this Abakumov.

Snippet from the Washington Times article:
“But if members of the armed forces, police and especially Revolutionary Guards decided to switch sides, then one can begin speaking of revolution.”

If only we had a president who believed in freedom and knew that the current iranian gov’t is a monster.
Here might be a move to payback the iranian gov’t for all the shiite they caused in Iraq: Secretly get word to the iranian army that we would recognize a new gov’t if they overthrew the mullahs and would lend material assistance if needed.
bttt
What? No, “Ich bin ein TehranEr” quote?
His silence is DEAFENING.
Hm - this might really be serious.
A riot turns in to a revolution when the military gets involved....
One other factor missed is that even though the bad guys have plenty of thugs, they don’t have as many hard liners as they want due to many of them were killed in Iraq. That’s why they were called back to Iran. They were needed at home for things like this.
Whoa. Some Revolutionary Guards are defecting?? They’re supposed to be the staunch defenders of the Islamic Republic; Khomeini essentially created them. This is huge. If even they’ve had enough, it’s curtains for Khamenei & Company.
Terrific news!
The evil Guards need to be eliminated. The Army must be the protector of the people!
Look at the Russian revolution, the army took the side of the people. Countless other revolutions have the army deciding that beating and killing their own people is out of bounds of their job descriptions.
I’ve heard that the leadership has imported arabs from Lebanon to help patrol the streets and beat people. I’ve seen reports that some of the attackers are speaking arabic, not farsi.
This is the last gasp of a dying regime. Let’s hope it dies quickly.
It could be a action by the mullahs to stave off further dissent among the fear inducing Republican Guard.
And a warning to others not to consider it.
The longer this goes the better for the people of Iran. The mullahs know this so expect the violence to escalate as they try to snuff this thing out fast.
The international coverage today has given Ahmanutjob a bloody nose. Let’s keep it running.
But of course we have Obama. No chance.
Verrry interesting report.
