I referred to the original translation in The Telegraph where it says that signatories were ranked from major to lieutenant-colonel. The body of these ranks are more similar to the population at large. While generals are closer to leadership. Remember how Homafars defected and came to people's side while generals got executed during revolution. The authenticity of this letter begs more research and fact finding. If true, it is a major upset to the entire body of the regime in Iran.Cyrusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-52462253748734046022011-02-19T13:22:57.112-05:002011-02-19T13:22:57.112-05:00The Basij (plainclothes and uniformed) operate und...The Basij (plainclothes and uniformed) operate under IRGC.

If people in Iran reads it, they will have a reaction to it. Like here the reaction varied. Also, the letter is a challenge to the Guardian Council. Basij is blind obedience, the Army says it is not. They are going in two different direction and that can mean future confrontation.Punditnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-23287401673120799052011-02-19T09:39:31.688-05:002011-02-19T09:39:31.688-05:00The Basij do operate under the direct control of t...The Basij do operate under the direct control of the IRGC, and the Basij are the ones on motorcycles, going into university dorms, carrying knives, maces, and electric cattle prods. The national police forces are the ones you see with helmets and normal looking riot gear and they aren't the most brutal of the bunch. Plus, the IRGC is the most powerful security force in the country, and is therefore blamed for whatever happens on the streets--that's why this letter is not necessarily a forgery.Mehrdadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-66351713129490314182011-02-19T07:25:49.579-05:002011-02-19T07:25:49.579-05:00It is my understanding the basij operate under the...It is my understanding the basij operate under the control of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corpslissnuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10637800490732092747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-25458354762860515282011-02-18T19:47:41.104-05:002011-02-18T19:47:41.104-05:00I don't think that basing your argument on the...I don't think that basing your argument on the assumption that people think the IRG is currently involved in crowd suppression.<br /><br />The real issue is that the people can stand up to anything short of military when they are in great numbers. The regular army is composed of citizens, so it is of the people, the IRG is not quite the same.<br /><br />If such a letter was actually sent it would give hope that surely the regular army and IRG asking questions implies the people only have to overcome the likes of the Basij.<br /><br />If it were a fake, it would mean that there is potentially an even bigger hurdle than expected for the brave citizens to overcome.RevoIranhttp://revoiran.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-20025195522154608212011-02-18T19:40:54.065-05:002011-02-18T19:40:54.065-05:00The headline "The Telegraph gets fooled by fo...The headline "The Telegraph gets fooled by forged 'IRGC letter'" is far too kind to the Telegraph hacks, as it implies that they are the unwitting victims of a campaign of deception, rather than being its originators.
