note that thugs doing the killings in the streets are NOT in uniform

and reports that foreigners imported to control the population because Iranian police and military not considered trustworthy to do so. Interesting question is whether IRGC troops (and regular military) are being confined to bases so they won’t be exposed to what is happening

[Just another Joe]

If it was a military coup then the military should be in power, yes?

If the military is in power why are there thugs killing in the streets with no military presence stopping them, asserting the power of the military?

It doesn't make any kind of sense.

Now, an attempted coup might make sense.
