Anler Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 So with other parties ignoring US sanctions the Brits are going to enforce them by seizing Iranian tankers? Come on Iran, take a shot at us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) was talking to a couple of Iranian professors here and they said that every one over there HATES their government. They fake pretend they like them but its untrue. He said you see down with America but its simply not true. Many want it to change. The professors are going back home soon to visit and are petrified they may not be able to leave and come back to the states. The revolutionary guard is the last check point to board a plane and they can take you away at any moment for anything. Then they are fucked.

That has been underway internally in Iran for years, many there embrace Western culture and ideals. But what is happening now has nothing to do with that.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted July 11, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 11, 2019 Just now, Pete said: Muhlahs The IRGC is ran by the Religious portion of the govt. Well most everything is somewhat. They are like our CIA but much more highly militarized. People need to watch that Showtime special on Iran. While being VERY critical of the USA it was also very clear things Iran does as well. Lots of interviews with high ranking Iranian officials. Its extremely interesting and covers Iran going way back to WW2. Hard to completely understand the US/Iran dynamic without watching it. Even left wing Wiki gets what they are about. Organization The force's main role is in national security. It is responsible for internal and border security, law enforcement, and also Iran's missile forces. IRGC operations are geared towards asymmetric warfare and less traditional duties. These include the control of smuggling, control of the Strait of Hormuz, and resistance operations.[29] The IRGC is intended to complement the more traditional role of the regular Iranian military, with the two forces operating separately and focusing on different operational roles.[29] The IRGC is a combined arms force with its own ground forces, navy,[7] air force, intelligence,[30] and special forces. It also controls the Basij militia. The Basij is a volunteer-based force, with 90,000 regular soldiers and 300,000 reservists. The IRGC is officially recognized as a component of the Iranian military under Article 150 of the Iranian Constitution.[31] It is separate from, and parallel to, the other arm of Iran's military, which is called Artesh (another Persian word for army). Especially in the waters of the Persian Gulf, the IRGC is expected to assume control of any Iranian response to attacks on its nuclear facilities.[7] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Lots of confusion in here...mostly by the same ones that get their foreign policy views from a traveling celebrity chef. Of course these citizens want western freedoms. But, that pesky religion and it’s Sharia really put a damper on things. But, we shouldn’t bother looking at that. Meh...

The CIA installed a government and the people eventual rose up against its brutality. America created this mess in Iran. No other country is to blame. America’s fingerprints are all over it. Its the unintended consequences of interfering and attempting to control the natural ebb and flow of a national government 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
