Even among the shock troops of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) in Iran, there are signs of discontent and dismay at the killing of so many protesters — now said to number nearly 40,000 killed and 300,000 wounded. Some have not reported to work; others have refused to fire on the protesters.
More on these signs of demoralization in the IRGC can be found here: “Cracks Behind the Uniforms: The Silent Fracture Inside IRGC,” by Omid Habibinia, The Media Line, February 5, 2026:
Three weeks after the unprecedented massacre of protesters in Iran, carried out largely by forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its affiliated Basij militia, there are growing signs of discontent among some IRGC members over the continued use of live fire against civilians.
An IRGC member, speaking through an intermediary, said he has not reported to work since Thursday, Jan. 8, and has since refused to return, citing severe depression and ongoing medical treatment. According to the officer, although “shoot-to-kill orders” had been issued against protesters and harsh crackdowns were expected on Thursday and Friday, Jan. 8 and 9, and in the days that followed, he was still shocked by the level of violence and brutality inflicted by IRGC forces on the public. He added that some members of his own family were among the wounded or the disappeared.
Unconfirmed reports indicate that in recent weeks the IRGC’s Intelligence Protection Organization, the body responsible for internal security oversight, sent confidential directives to commanders warning that any refusal to carry out orders—whether from their immediate superiors or from the Supreme National Security Council—would be met with severe punishment.
According to these directives, violators are to be immediately arrested and referred to special military courts. The orders emphasize that disobedience could result in the harshest sentences, particularly at a time when the country is portrayed as being on the brink of widespread urban clashes or civil war.
Beyond these confidential instructions, the IRGC Intelligence Organization issued an unprecedented public statement immediately after the Jan. 8 uprising, warning against any “insubordination, desertion or disobedience” within the armed forces and threatening prosecution and “decisive action.”…
That warning was issued precisely because there have been cases of “insubordination, desertion, and disobedience” in the IRGC ranks. There has not yet been the wholesale desertion of IRGC and army soldiers that some had hoped for, but there is a steady stillicide of soldiers refusing to show up, especially in the regular army.
Negin Ghadimi, a 28-year-old student, was shot by members of the IRGC in Shahsavar in northern Iran. They prevented her from being taken to a hospital, and she died in her father’s arms.
It is the reports of such murders as that of Negin Ghadimi, dying in her father’s arms, that by the thousands spread among ordinary Iranians, who then swell the ranks of the protesters. And the same stories, of the point-blank killing of protesters, also demoralize Iran’s soldiers, some of whom are no longer showing up for duty.
But for the protesters to again take heart, enough to again go out on the streets by the millions, and brave live fire, they must now have the ironclad assurance that the Americans will decapitate the leadership, including the supreme leader and the IRGC high command, just as soon as the protests begin again.
It’s up to Trump. He has disappointed the protesters before, when he promised to come to their aid and then did… nothing. He can’t let them down again.
So is anyone c going to compare this shooting of Protests to Kent State?
Not me…
Apples and oranges…
How about South Carolina State?
Your comment is illogical and stupid. You must be some pink haired grandmother hippie or just a fool. Learn to use a scale.
How did I know It would be Hugh Fitzgerald again, whining about Trump?
Hey Hughy, instead of whining about Trump, maybe you should put your pen down, get off your a$$ and go buy an AK and do something about it. Maybe buy a pair of those nifty IRGC white and black shoes.
You are the essence of “all hat, no cattle”
I guess you didn’t know that Trump is the Commander in Chief, not Fitzgerald. You could get off your a$$ and get an education.
Put not your trust in princes, sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.
Psalm 146:3
Fitzgerald spreads enough bile about Trump, so much so that it weakens Trump’s support. Maybe you need the education.
If it is going to be a regime change. It will come from within the ruling elites who are concern with their own survival. And all begins with crack within security forces who hold the guns.
That murderous, misogynistic monstrous malicious oppressive brutal and cruel tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran is a. horrendous abomination and affront to and against everything that is good, civilized and of value of worth
That horrific tyrant, Khamenei, needs to be held accountable for all the evils that he is responsible for. Because he very evil despots and is viciously against the Iranian people, For he and the other ayatollahs mullahs and similar Muslim despots in tyrannical control in that Islamic regime of Iran terribly oppress the Iranian people through their thugs in uniform who are called the “Islamic Revolutionary guards.”
All those years of miserly oppression suffering and murder imposed on the Iranian people by those despots of that Islamic tyranny of Iran is coming back down on those evil dictators of that horrific regime. Therefore, the old saying might a valid statement, which is “What goes around comes around.”
For the Iranian people are right and justified for hating that brutal cruel oppressive and even murderous Islamic tyrannical regime of Iran.
For example, the many arrest and imprisonment and even execution of people , repeatedly, who had peacefully protested that “mullah tyranny” of Iran only further exposes the weak ,fearful and intolerant nature of those in power in the oppressive and brutal “mullah regime “ of Iran.
Therefore, the Iranians people are more than justified in wanting that brutal cruel oppressive Islamic tyranny to be overthrown and replaced with a genuine government.
As a former Muslim revealed an important reality when he wrote, “The Islamic republic of Iran exists and operates as what every fundamentalist dreams of, an Islamic state ruled by Sharia …” He further exposes that “What followed its establishment was the inevitable consequence and inexorable logic of its Islamic premise; state terrorism, a merciless tyranny.” [1]

Interesting how it is not reported well that 289 Iran police died. Some burned to death and genitals cut off. Ambulances and Fire stations attacked and destroyed. Anti government Rioters paid for by foreign actors. Wonder how Trump would have reacted and citizens in US if this happened here. Iran citizens millions marched in support of their government.
Those ayatollahs mullahs and the other Muslim despots in tyrannical control in that Islamic regime of Iran terribly oppress the Iranian people through their thugs in uniform who are called the “Islamic Revolutionary guards.’
Therefore, it’s no wonder that the people of Iran are revolting against those tyrants in power in Iran. Nevertheless, because the that “mullah regime’s Islamic state police , Revolutionary guards, many Iranians still live in fear of those Muslim dictators of that Islamic tyranny.
As Benjamin Franklin in his periodical entitled POOR RICHARD’S ALMANAC printed “For it reads “Those who are feared are also hated. “Nevertheless, there are limits to how far fear can suppress a terribly abused and oppressed people.
For the Iranian people have “reached a point where fear is no longer a deterrent” In high-level meetings, official regime official said. As revealed in this jihad watch article. He also remarked that the “People are extremely angry,” he said, adding a US attack could lead Iranians to rise up again. “The wall of fear has collapsed. There is no fear left.”
For that tyrant Ayatollah Khamenei is an enemy the Iranian people, through that misery and death inflecting horrific Islamic tyranny of Iran, which is evil in sense of that word, he push the people too far. Therefore, that Islamic tyranny should be overthrown and replaced with a genuine government which respects and safeguards that natural human rights and freedom which of the people should of Iran have.
Therefore, it’s fitting to relate to the concepts, precepts and guidelines of the Intellect philosopher John Locke, His basic principles .very much apply to this situation in Iran.
For Mr. Locke taught that any good government has the duty to ensure the security and safety of its citizens ,So the people under the bondage and oppression of a tyrannical government do have every natural and ethical right to overthrow that terrible and oppressive tyrannical government.

That cruel despicable fiendish tyrant, Khamenei, and the other ayatollahs and the mullahs along with the other fiendish despots who are in power in that tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran , also have much blood guilt of the mass murder of so many innocent Iranians on their sinister hands.
For example, a woman interviewed by the Epoch Times 1/20/26. A1, didn’t give an isolated report such murderous atrocities committed by the “security forces’ against the Iranians people has been confirmed by many other Iranians and other sources.
The article reads” Nights in Tehran, Iran, are increasingly violent” an Iranian woman told that newspapers reporter, “She said the security forces often move through crowds on motorcycles firing indiscriminately. She said in the morning she was bodies in public areas and bold on the streets.”
In addition, the article further reports, “the death resulted from coordinated operation carried out primarily by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Basij forces not from spontaneous clashes. Sources indicate that the operation was conducted under the direct orders from Ayatollah Khamenei.”
That wicked death –inflecting Khamenei and the other Islamic despots using their murdering criminals in uniform “security forces’ against the Iranian people who are justly and righteously revolting against that horrendously brutal cruel and deadly tyrannical Islamic regimes of Iran is outrageous and wrong.
Iranian people in the righteous quest for a genuine, legitimate government that respects and safeguard their basic human rights is a good worthy decent just very good cause.
It does not matter. Those that fired, killed, or tortured their own people must be put to death. Entire cleansing is needed from this FOUL matter, if you want change.
