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).

An opposition website said eight people were killed in clashes between pro-reform protesters and security forces in Iran on Sunday.
Opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi’s nephew was among the dead, an adviser to Mr. Mousavi said.
It seems as though the writers of this proclamation are familiar with our Declaration of Independence.
As if the greatness of this country and its founding documents do not positively effect and give guidance to others around the world..!! The libs are such conceited fools.
Well, I’m sure it is the ghost of George Washington and our Founding Fathers leading this movement.
Wait, no I’m not.
I predict if the Iranian government falls, it will be replaced with something worse. Our revolution is rather singular in that it actually did lead to better conditions for the participants. Most don’t. Now, I’m personally for the revolution as we’re going to have to deal with them sometime, no matter who is leading Iran. And it is possible it could lead to massive, positive changes. But I wouldn’t bet on it.
And ignoring that...has no one considered just WHO exactly might be the moving force behind the anti-gov forces? Well, it just has to be organic and not be any of the surrounding Muslim countries, or the terror orgs they contain, right? Yep...its just a bunch of fed up freedom fighters. They’re busy drafting their constitution right now.
I don’t see Nutjob lasting much longer. Doesn’t his primary support come from Ayatollah? And doesn’t Ayatollah basically have one foot in the grave already?
What will most likely happen is there will be internal conflict between the mullahs, and to try to keep some sort of peace, a more moderate, less religious based government will come to power.
Remember, Iran has an operating government and all the bells and whistles that go along with it. Government workers are not going to allow any radical change towards an even more religious based hierarchy that puts them at
risk.
The biggest question: the Armed Forces
Nope.
But look at the history there.
The overthrowing of the Shah was not out of some deep desire to be more Islamic. It was a reaction to the abuses and the crap being pulled by the Shah’s secret police forces.
The Islamic interests came out and filled a vacuum. That’s about it.
And now, the same types of crap and abuses are happening under the mullahs and the Revolutionary Guard.
I think Iranians are aware and do not want to see what happened to Lebanon happen in Iran.
interesting timing to say the least . . .
FYI
Thanks for the ping, jhpigott, and *ping* to all the others...
“non-support for the regime rather than direct opposition”
non-support IS direct opposition in a totalitarian state. This is huge.
I wonder if BiBi sent them a message through the Saudi’s,,,
“Clean up your mess or we will.”...
“The problem is all inside your head”, Liberty said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your Leader
She said it’s really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat myself, at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your Leader
Fifty ways to leave your Leader....”
>Bo)
Agreed.
A rebellion now will just replace one Islamic Republic with another. What’s needed is for the people to get disgusted with Islam itself.
RE:
“...This should frighten tyranny minded Moslem usurpers EVERYWHERE. *cough*”
Methinks I get your drift. That cold could be catching.
If I’m not mistaken, I believe that it already is.
“Sic Semper Tyrannis.”
Or so we might hope.
We live in interesting times; stay tuned, y’all!
Yet still no word about taking Islam out of their government, or ending their nuke program. As soon as Israel strikes those nukes sites, the Iranians will unite against a common enemy.
could be . .
if this tweet has any accuracy, then Kahmeni and co. may indeed believe a coup is either possible or in the works . . .
twitter report:four planes ready on standby at airport to take Khameni & co out- Regime is FINISHED-Army must join the Nation
Here’s the link, scroll down a tad:
Let me know when they takeover and end their nuke program. Or stop the persecution of Christians there. Wishful thinking is meaningless.
