Thanks for passing this along. What interests me is the complete silence of the actual army. The IRG is very much in the pocket of Khameni and is really just a large security force. like rent-a-cops but with fancier uniforms.

Where's the actual military in all of this? At the beginning of the protests, the general in charge of the armed forces was arrested and lost his position because he refused to use the army against the protesters. So...who's in charge now? What is their position?

The silence is provocative, to say the least. They could still end up being the key players in all of this. I guess it's back to wait and see...
