Ah, they said one operational procedure is the: “2. Disarming & arrest of Government supporting agents within your units & transfer to military detention facilities under strict observance of their rights.”
This hardly sounds like just a “statement of non-support for the regime rather than direct opposition.”
Is this for real? If so, Iran is suddenly in the middle of an attempted coup.
I just don’t understand the “rules of engagement” and pulling any punches in such an endeavor. Could just be PR though, or preliminary negotiation stance.
Yes, it seems to be underway. The Persians are an interesting people, and this would not be the first time they threw off the yoke.
