Iran's armed forces are facing acute supply shortages, rising deserts and deepening friction between the regular army (Artsh) and the revolutionary guards, [say] informed sources [about] a military system under growing train as the war intensities.
Among the most serious allegations are reports that were founded army personnel have been denied assistance by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), that some frontline units are operating with minimal ammunition, food and drinking water, and that attempts to mobilize reserve forces have failed.
sources said that regular army units are sufficient significant casualties but that IRGC personnel have been returned to transport injured army soldiers to hospitals despite having access to medical facilities.
According to sources, [IRGC] rejected repeated army requests for assistance, citing shortages of ambulances and blood supplies.
[These] refusals have deepened danger and resistance between persons from the two forces, adding to long-standing institutional tensions between the regular army (Artsh) and the IRGC.
Reported tensions [are] shortages affecting some frontline and field units of the Iranian army.
Sources described worsening [logistical] conditions that have left troops struggling with limited ammunition and inadequate basic supplies.
In one example cited by the sources, some units were issued only 20 bullets for every two Artesh soldiers, leaving tours with little capacity to respond to potential attacks.
Field units in several areas are also bound to be operating without reasonable access to drinking water or sufficient food supplies.
The strain is not limited to the regular army.
Even within IRGC missile units – traditionally among the best resourced parts of Iran military – there have been reports of communications equipment failures and shortages of food and other basic supplies.
Despite these problems, the sources say the command structure appears to be prioritizing the delivery of technical components needed to keep missile systems operational, rather than sending additional food relations or individual equipment to the personnel.
[Sources say the IRGC] focusing on maintaining strategic weapons while troops face prioritizing living conditions.
[Sources say] the efforts by the revolutionary guards to mobilize reserve forces earlier this week produced limited results.

The edits in the document [to make it readable] are mine.
More of this needs to be COVERED BY OUR MEDIA NOW. They are at the breaking point. Push forward until their will snaps. All of the media and Democrats here who say ANYTHING that look lessens morale should be tried for treason.
I still say and have been roundly criticized by some:
There is no way to predict how far and for how long the bitter clinger IRGC holdouts will go. Will they assemble into small gangs and extort the ordinary people? This is regretfully what I predict. And these clans will come and go, expand and contract and will be absolute hell to eradicate. And their second biggest motivation, after money, is the idea that it will take (probably US) “boots on the ground” to control them. Their criminal enterprise is in effect the very thing that attracts into their ‘hood the people they want to kill.
There are many tens of thousands of IRGC. They are the ones with the guns. The Iranian general populace is essentially unarmed.
The regular Army, while badly equipped, outnumbers the IRGC 2:1.
Well, that’s why I’m posting it here.
Doing the prep work for the media.
Lots of folks get their prep here.
The regular army is not a big concern. The IRGC are the primary revolutionary loyalists that need to go. The regular army there has always been subordinate to the IRGC.
Question:
If reports are true that IRGC leaders are hiding amongst the civilian population and uding them as human shields, then why haven’t these people taken action against them? Granted they have some level of security force, but in a city of 9 million, the numbers are in their favor.
Just look at the ROTC guys yesterday that risked their personal safety to take out the shooter and stab his sorry ass to death. Thats what the good people of Iran need to start doing.
Tired of having bombs dropped on them.
Tucker and Bannon are worse than Old Media with their Israel hate.
Another issue are the Islamist militias that were brought in from Hamas and Hezbollah. They were the primary shooters that killed the protesting citizens. They are recognized by the fact that the don’t speak the language.
As well as by their smell, I assume.
Wonder if smuggling from Iraq and Afghanistan into Iran of badly needed necessities is limited by Iran’s inability to pay.
Same playbook they’ve been using against Russia for the past 4 years. “Iran now using shovels in mass wave attacks” is next. - “Iran now running low on missiles and are using washing machine chips as a last resort”.
And you are spouting the same baseless anti-American propaganda you always post.
This must scare you for you to suddenly react.
I don’t know if that is a true truth. But even if it is, the irgc is a mafia style organization that is bound to have much greater access to capital , which equates to ammunition and supplies, plus they have a proven propensity to slaughter people in great numbers. I would suggest that regular army grunts are not of a mind to conspire and form subgroups without some kind of command structure, even if it is ad hoc. And we are still talking about many tens of thousands of potential combatants.
I just believe that whatever remnants of the irgc remain will do their best to create chaos and Mayhem in what we would like to see as at least a semi-civilized country.
Translation: the Wehrmacht has a problem with the SS.
“Translation: the Wehrmacht has a problem with the SS.”
That’s exactly correct. Great analogy.
In that analogy the Basij are the SA.
If we look at history both the French and Russian regimes collapsed when the army joined the citizens in revolt. Those factions opposing the revolution were hunted down.
If the army joins the people of Iran against the regime we can expect the IRGC will likewise be hunted down.
And not getting paid. And not getting fed. And having many of the populace hate them.
What about the Iranian Army, will they wind up fighting the IRGC? That’s the best hope.
