Ping, for what it is worth. I hope there is something to the rumors of an Army-led coup, but why would they announce their future operations?

COORDINATION CENTER FOR NATIONAL IRANIAN ARMED RESISTANCE FORCES DECLARES ITS EXISTENCE.
This announcement was received via telephone from a high ranking Army officer of NIRU from Iran
Start of announcement
Saturday December 26th, 2009
In the name of God the Merciful & Forgiving
Praise be to God and peace on the His Messenger (PBUH) and his family I take refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan
The coordination center for National Iranian Armed Resistance Forces (NIRU) hereby declares its existence & accuses the current government and the leader of the Islamic Revolution, Mr. Sayyed Ali Khamenei of legal transgressions and high treason of nation and homeland.
We, a number of Officers, Soldiers and personnel of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, hereby declare our readiness for rise to the armed defense of our nation against the forces of the criminal, illegitimate, transgressing and occupying current Government of Iran, and hereby inform our brothers and sisters serving with the armed security forces of Iran, invite them to join us, request their support and ask them to provide cover for us in this moral & national act. A special request for support & cooperation goes to our brothers of the Military Police.
Our action has no political or revolting aspects. We’d rather see our actions as the carrying out of the moral & national duties of all soldiers & Iranians. Our intention is the defense of the oppressed against oppressors, and avoidance of further crimes committed by the illegitimate Government, as well as the return of freedom, peace, order & justice to our land.
Now, after 6 months of crisis, oppression, crimes, repeated violent transgressions of our nation’s rights, as well as the trampling of Constitutional & moral laws, the Leader and other main agents of the Government have stripped themselves of their qualification and legitimacy by committing these acts or failing to carry out their legal & moral duties and therefore are considered an occupying and forced regime. In accordance with the regulations of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, we are commissioned to protect the lives, properties and honor of our nation, and defend our sacred soil, as well as combat all occupying forces within the borders of the land. Any failure in carrying out this duty is considered a betrayal of nation and oath. According to the constitution, the defense of the rights of the nation of Iran, and avoidance of the collapse of the country takes precedence over protection of the ruling regime. Such (defensive) action is “promotion of the good & rejection of wrong” which one is of the two main principles of our constitution, the other being democracy.
In accordance with the decision of this command, and in carrying out our national & moral duties, we hereby announce the initiation of Operation “Azadi” (Freedom).

Sounds like a statement of non-support for the regime rather than direct opposition. Still, standing aside will achieve the same end.
The beginning of the end for Imanutjob?
Just a short year ago all the libs marched up and down the streets demanding the US stop interfering with Iran....I guess it’s fashionable now to want war.
Ping.
Security forces are surrendering?
(opposition leader) Mousavi’s nephew was allegedly shot in the chest and killed today. Pics on the blog . . . sounds like this could be getting out of hand
http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/200...ashes-in-iran/
I would say escaping their grip, rather than out of hand.
This should frighten tyranny minded Moslem usurpers EVERYWHERE. *cough*
Sic Semper Tyrannis.
Your link didn’t work for me.
WOW!
God (the Real One) be with them as they try to overthrow the evil ones.
Good point re: any Moose-slum wannane doctators (PISS be upon him) in our White House. The time is drawing near.....so be ready to RUMBLE!
Ping, for what it is worth. I hope there is something to the rumors of an Army-led coup, but why would they announce their future operations?
I’ve said it before, Iran is almost a “token” Islamic country, and they’d rather NOT BE.
They are very moderate, very interested in western culture, history, and ideals, and are way more “European” in their outlook than they are “Arabian”.
You are right. In fact most Iranians are not Arabs at all.
They are Aryans in background.
The result of almost 60 years of Westernization by the Pahlavi Dynasty. Even 30 years of Mullah tyranny couldn't eradicate the secularization, westernization and modernization that has taken place in Iran, despite all regime attempts to "islamize and arabize" society.
Whoa! This is good news!! The end is near for the regime.
