Hundreds of members of the Special Forces, Bassij para-military and the regular Police have been deployed in main areas of the Greater Tehran in what has been qualified as "Amaliat-e-Zafar" (Operation Victory). Such code name is usually used in war with foreign armies. It's showing the deep appreciation of Iranians by an occupative regime which is rejected by millions of them.
