2 For some, not all. Unfortunately there is going to be many who are either hard core followers of the IRGC or those that know if the IRGC loses power they face death or life in prison for the crimes they have already committed against the Iranian people.

3 During and After the Jan-Feb protests, the tip of the spear group to kill protestors was the foreign militia groups brought in from Iraq. They were supported by the Basij, formally Sâzmân-e Basij-e Mostaz'afin.

That apparently won't do this time.

Obviously, I'm not sure what the situation is there but its a decent bet that a lot of the foreign militia is not available and the Basij has depleted some of their 'volunteers'.

5 killed more than 45,000 Iranians

That suspect number keeps getting bigger and bigger.

With Covid we saw the refrigerator trucks, bodies in the streets, overloaded morgues and smoking crematoriums.

I guess I missed the bulldozer burial photos in Iran.

6 There have been stories on X of at least one senior IRGC commander being killed by 4 people. Don't know how credible the story is, but I get the impression things aren't going well for the IRGC internally.
