CTP’s third thread on #Iran’s state security services discusses some of its vulnerabilities – an expansion on yesterday’s thread on the structure and organization of these security forces. 1/7

https://twitter.com/criticalthreats/status/1580294982082375680

The regime’s first major challenge is ensuring the ideological commitment and subordination of its security forces. The regime has seen dissent and defections among low-level security personnel in almost every major protest movement since 1979. 2/7

This dissent and defections have never been large-scale, but have alarmed the regime enough that they have developed increasingly ideological and well-trained forces, such as the LEC Special Units and elite Basij personnel, for protest suppression. 3/7

#IranProtests highlight how the regime has prepared itself to brutally crack down on its people. These protests also highlight the cracks in the regime’s security apparatus. A thread: 1/7 #مهسا_امینی #سنندج

The regime has optimized its internal security apparatus to preempt and violently suppress protests. The regime uses a three-pronged counter-protest strategy to achieve this effect. 2/7

The regime relies most heavily on force to suppress protests. It uses a cohesive and ideological network of military and paramilitary units to do so. This approach is currently on display in the regime’s brutal crackdown in #Sanandaj. 3/7

Critical Threats

@criticalthreats

#Iranian security forces are brutally suppressing protestors in #Sanandaj, #Kurdistan Province. Here's what else you need to know today from CTP and @TheStudyofWar's Iran Crisis Update:

criticalthreats.org/analysis/iran-…

#سنندج #مهسا_امینی

Anti-regime protests occurred in at least 16 cities in 11 different provinces on October 10. Iranian security forces are using significantly violent and lethal means to suppress protests in #Sanandaj.

Protests in the Iranian heartland may be approaching the threshold identified in US military doctrine for “latent and incipient” insurgency. CTP has not yet observed clear indicators that the protest movement has crossed the threshold and isn't prepared to forecast that it will.

In #Sanandaj, der Hauptstadt der iranischen Kurd*innen, setzen die Revolutionsgarden (IRGC) gerade schwere Waffen gegen Protestierende ein. Dort wird seit Wochen demonstriert. Laut Berichten ähnelt die Stadt einem Kriegsgebiet. #IranRevolution #MahsaAmini

https://twitter.com/hengawo/status/1579581456841867264/video/1

Die Proteste gegen die Islamische Republik sind in #Sanandaj ungebrochen. Mutige Kurd*innen skandieren dort weiterhin „Jin - Jian - Azadi“, die Losung dieser #IranRevolution. Davon zeugt ein beeindruckendes Video von gestern. #JinaAmini #MahsaAmini

Leider ist aber auch das gerade Realität in #Sanandaj: Mit (Kriegs-)Waffen gehen Polizei und Revolutionsgarden gegen Proteste vor. Hier wird wahllos in eine Nachbarschaft geschossen. Das ist Terror gegen die eigene Bevölkerung. #IranRevolution #MahsaAmini

Gunshots can be heard from almost every alley in #Sanandaj. Numerous people have been arrested, many have been shot with heavy guns. There are no exact numbers as to how many people have died, but the situation in Sanandaj is dire.

Another footage from #Sanandaj city on Sunday, October 9th.
Gunfire and explosions can be heard throughout the city. It appears as if a war is taking place.

This is an alley in #Sanandaj. The IRI regime is clearly waging a war against the unarmed people of Iran who do not want to be ruled by a dictator. We despise Islamic Republic.

@criticalthreats

Footage circulating on social media suggests that protests following #Mahsah_Amini's death have occurred in 19 of #Iran's 31 provinces within the past three days. A thread: 1/5

Protests that were initially concentrated in #Tehran City and throughout #Kurdistan Province – where Amini was from – have since spread nationwide within the past day, reaching historically conservative cities like #Qom. 2/5

Protestors have chanted anti-regime slogans against mandatory veiling and against Supreme Leader #Khamenei's son, #Mojtaba, who some have speculated will succeed his father as Supreme Leader. CTP discusses Mojtaba and succession in a recent update: criticalthreats.org/analysis/iran-… 3/5

9. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?
