Signs of discontent, low morale, financial strain and desertion are spreading among parts of Iran’s security and military forces, Iran International has learned.
Members of the Special Units Command received a notice on Friday saying salary payments for some units had run into problems, according to people familiar with the matter. The delay marked the third time this year that wages for those forces had been paid late.
Following the delays, some personnel refused to attend pro-government gatherings, the sources said, causing disruptions in deployment in some major cities.
Retirees and some army personnel have also not been paid for a second straight month.
Some senior commanders accuse the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of using the financial crisis at Bank Sepah to weaken the police force and strengthen other institutions, especially bodies tied to the clerical establishment.

It's also the result of a subtle hidden war, but no less effective, conducted in the Treasury Department and by pencil necked bean counters that often causes as much damage to war effort as bombs.
As an aside, our domestic enemies and allies of the Ayatollah, the Democrats, are doing this to us, by not paying Homeland Security.
Perhaps we should bomb their banking data centers as a way of accelerating this process.
Which is sort of ironic, since most of the TSA people I've come across seem like Democrat voters to me.
Has Iran International been established as a reliable source of information?
Very much so, yes. Constantly 2 days ahead of our media.
The Persian version is better, but I have to rely on AI to translate.
It literally post list of micro-targets, live, for Iran and Israel, given to it from its Iranian readers. These targets are then hit and pictures published.
“Perhaps we should bomb their banking data centers as a way of accelerating this process.”

I’m surprised the Israelis haven’t already hacked into their banking systems and taken care of this.
This is the tough part of the war. We are chipping away at the IRGC. At this point, that is the most critical task of the war but its hard to see obvious progress. If we keep pounding the IRGC from multiple directions, hopefully they will crack. If they do, it will go a long way toward actually winning the war - meaning getting a government in place that will not try to build a nuclear bomb, rebuild missile capacity and fund terror proxy wars. But its really hard to measure progress in how much damage we are doing to the IRGC with everything we and Israel are doing to them.
I would normally agree, but I think the focus is not to disrupt “everyday life” for the civilian population.
I would think that our cyber command has been quite busy these past two weeks, messing with specific accounts rather than the entire system.
OTOH, messing with everybody’s life a little bit can easily be blamed on the IRGC, and whip up even more support to get rid of the current regime.
You mean they’ll have to kill their unarmed countrymen for free? The horror! /s
“keep pounding”
Never hold Artillery in reserve.
Those bastards are going to give way, one way or another.
They can run, surrender, or die.
Free Iran! Death to Tyrants!
