This is pretty big news.
Who the hell would have thought the Republican Guards would have dissent from within their own ranks? Certainly not me, at least none that would have been made public.

Yes, it’s huge if it’s true. And the regime probably has an even bigger problem with the Iranian Army which is not as ideologically driven.

This is huge. If the Republican Guards are defecting, it could be all over for the regime.

True or false, the arrests have the same intent. To strike fear in the hearts of all the others.
Fear is the coin of the realm.

As usual the top level "insiders" have access to news from the "outside" and act sensibly ~ here the Guard guys know that the blather over nukes in Iran can mean only one thing ~ that Israeli submarines carrying nuclear tripped missiles are going to avenge whatever it is the Ayatollahs are up to, and that means they are all dead, as are their families, their friends, everyone they ever knew ~ just gone in thermonuclear flashover.
Before this is over the Israeli Army is going to be cooking Khomenei's skull in a trash fire amid the ruins of Qom.

I really screwed that post up. I mean that even if the reports are false, the mere rumor of them will strike fear into the hearts of the RG.

Obama will be happy to send some Acorn thugs over there to take their places if Ahmanutjob asks him in a nice way. (eye roll)

Hopeful of this being true. It would be the sweetest
revenge for all of us who remember the Shah's fall
and the embassy hostage taking.
Khomenyi’s son and the old hostage taker himself,
in top power and getting toppled.
Thirty years later, OH! Can it be true?

“Who the hell would have thought the Republican Guards would have dissent from within their own ranks?”
I read an article that described how about 5 years ago the Revolutionary Guards’ purpose was converted from an elite military unit that fought Iraq to domestic security, even merging with the Basij.
I bet some didn’t like that.

Correct....fear is what this is about. They pulled 16 of their so called finest from the ranks who were probably as loyal as the next and will sacrifice them at a public gathering for the good of the regime to strike fear in others who may be thinking or hesitating in carrying out rat boys orders.......or resisting the jew hater dick-tater !
Personal opinion only.......

I’m not sure this is great news..
The Guards may have been on the people’s side.. but now they’re in jail.
