CNN: Iran's Revolutionary Guards claim protests over
The head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Wednesday that a string of anti-government protests were over after six days of unrest.
In comments to the semiofficial Fars news agency, Mohammad Ali Jafari said that only 15,000 people had turned out at the height of the rallies and that the main "troublemakers" have been arrested. CNN has not been able to verify the claim on the amount of protesters.
"Today, we can say it is the end of 'sedition 1396,' " Jafari said, using the year in the Iranian calendar.
"With the help of God, their defeat is definite," he said.
Jafari's comments were likely to be seen as a warning in the country.

We need human intel with the new greens. Jam, distract or destroy Iran air defenses. Launch from Syria. Drones could deliver sizable drop packs of material to the outer rural locales. parachuted 'insurrection packs', with satellite radios, satellite internet upload stations, rifles, the whole thing. Food. Speed. Commercial FRS radios.
Coordinate with the "greens(?)" and have them ferry supplies back to the urban centers. Distribute. Take up armed insurrection against that godawful theocracy.

Problem is the majority of people there are happy with the status quo.
Is only the beginning. Many of the deaths are hit by nooneknowwho's, agents of mayhem are at work, pushing internal divisions, maybe whit promises of power for some puppet.
Last big non-nuclear war of West against East.
Man , you should be a novel writer , but it not gonna work

Fazman,
You are absolutely right, however, I don't think you go far enough. If there's anything the Iranians hate more than their leaders assuming they really do hate their leaders, it's the Americans. Of this we can be certain as almost 40 years of anti-Americanism Guarantees this.
Russ,
Very respectfully your course of action won't work. See my response to fazman. They don't trust us, don't respect us, and even if they did US Intelligence operatives lack the competence to pull something like this off.
YC,
This is the messaging put forth by the Iranian government. I would not be surprised if we see a false flag put forth by the Iranians that fits in line with this messaging providing them with the necessary pretext to hit the United States.
I think we can agree on one point. We don't even know who these protesters are. That may be about where our agreement ends.
It'd be unwise in the extreme to offer them ANYTHING until we know who these people are and what their goals are. To ascertain this would require competent Intel officials which we do not have. Essentially POTUS and other US leaders would be unwise to rely on anything these people present as a secondary much less a primary source.
Unfortunately DJT and others may have gotten to excited to quickly and "leaped before they looked." In so doing, they may have led us into a trap carefully laid by Iran and it's allies.

If killing Kamenai whould change the regime in something less brutal, somebody whould have done it already. It is a dictatorship but it has numerous heads. Besides the regular security stuff there are many civilian organizations blended into the Iranian society and receiving money from the government to inform about the citizens to incite one against the other, to explode strikes and even apply domestic violence when required. Who are these? Hezbulla operatives,secret police,2 million priviledged religious party members distributed in work places, school, universities, army. If that's not enough, they may even secretly threaten the use of special weapon.
The thing is, Iranian are most of the time even afraid to think some unreverentious thoughts because they may talk in their dreams and somebody may here. In the US the government is dealling in a couple of shady businesses but it ussualy goes in great length to conceal that activity. Iran, at other hand is a theoretically and practically evil regime (like Nkorea from this point of view) where some people are not even sure what they are afraid of exactly
Iranian protests have a 45 day periodicity like cicadas.
