Hiding places in mosques and mortuaries. Iran's soldiers want to avoid attacks

Soldiers and members of the Basij militia stationed in several districts of Tehran have moved to mosques. Additionally, Iranian special forces and police moved – according to witnesses – to the mortuary in the city of Karaj, located near Tehran.

Witnesses also reported that members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and border guards in the western part of Iran, neighboring Iraq and Turkey are sheltering in mosques. In such border towns as Paveh, Mariwan, Bane and Sardasht, Muslim temples were turned into outposts, among others.

The Kurdistan Human Rights Network reported that on the Turkish-Iranian border, members of the IRGC and border guards operating from mosques warned residents to under no circumstances did they approach the border zone threatening to open fire on anyone near the border.

And a few days ago, residents of Kazerun in southwestern Iran informed Iranwire that the barracks of the Chamran and Imam Sajjad brigades subordinated to the IRGC were evacuated and moved to urban recreation areas.

Why are Iranian soldiers moving to mosques?

Which soldier groups left their posts?

Where are the mosques they are moving to?

What are the consequences of the actions of the Iranian armed forces for the civilian population?

The entry of Iranian armed forces into mosques means that they create “living shields” from the civilian population, which are intended to protect them from attacks by the US and Israel, the humanitarian organization said in its report.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

For reference when we hear the Enemedia bemoaning attacks on mosques.

Of course they have. So start wiping out mosques. Problem solved, WIN-WIN!

Mosques are Islam’s multi-purpose base camps.

Mosques are traditionally used as military facilities. They are always fair game.

Also, after 47 years of Muslim Apartheid, the locals have already been attacking mosques.

Air drop pig excrement and lard on mosques. That was easy.

Speaking of hiding places, has anyone checked Jared Kushner’s bed for Bibi?

Mosques are for Muslims. Islam is a small minority in Iran. Drop leaflets: On X day we will wipe out mosques in these places: xx, yy, zz, etc. Don’t go there.
Might not get at IRGC guys, but they will have to hide somewheres else. Plus, the mullahs for those mosques will be homeless.

The Sunni Muslims will support this.

I’m no structural engineer but I’m sure our munitions can take out a mosque.

But Bibi was reported to have slept in Jared’s bed when Jared was a boy. (Not as far as I know with Jared also in it.)
