Friday’s Daily Briefing on Iran

DoctorZin reports, 2.25.2005:

Iran Guards tell leader forces unable to control Tehran uprising lasting more than 6 hours.

Iran Focus reports:

In a recent secret report to the Iranian regime's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps pointed out that were a demonstration or rebellion to last more than six hours in Tehran, the security apparatus would no longer be able to control the situation.

"Society is in an unstable state. Were certain sensitive locations in Tehran to 'explode' under these circumstances, and the capital sink into chaos, if uprisings continue unabated and grow larger for more than six hours in Tehran, the situation would become uncontrollable", the report said.

If this report is accurate, the IRGC is likely pleading for help in containing the demonstrations the regime is anticipating in the coming months. The wave of democracy spreading across the Middle East is gaining speed. We need to encourage the Iranian people that their time to stand is coming soon.
