Head of #IRI army voiced his unity and support with #IRGC and Basij and warned "The youth will receive the punishment for their actions when time comes".
This silences the roumers that the stupid Iranian diaspora in #UK and #US been spreading about the army refusal to stand behind the regime and saying that their job is to safeguard the nations borders not to kill it's own citizens they sworn to protect.
That doesn't mean that the low ranking officers and soldiers (mostly drafter) will follow the orders if #Khamenei decides to call in thd army to crush the ever growing uprising that is now openly challenging the authority of the police and IRGC and confronting #Basij by attacking them and in several cases even killing them.
Without a real opposition, without a united front among wide range of groups and without clear plans how to fight the regime, the risk for a wide spread civil war is spreading almost daily.
I'm really afraid of the outcome of this uprising, not because I believe the regime has any legitimacy, but the danger of chaos that will follow if the regime falls (which is highly unlikely, at least in short term and without major escalation of the conflict between Sepah and public).
