I sure would not like to mess with these two Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naghdi and Hojjatoleslam Hossein Taeb! Look very competent in time of war
There is no attention in western media paid to any movements in the Iranian army but big attention to Ahmadinejad himself and his past according to the article in Daily Telegraph. However, the importance of these movements should not be neglected.
