Michael J. Regent, an American security expert and senior Middle East scholar at the Hudson Institute in Washington, has suggested splittingsenior leaders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and leaving the country in secret.
On the sidelines of a seminar at the Hudson Institute on the ongoing protests in Iran and the impact of US sanctions on the Iranian regime, Brigant said some reports of the resignation of several senior commanders of [url=https://www.thebaghdadpost.com/ar/Story/t/674/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%B1%D8%B3 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AB%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%8A]the[/url] Iranian [url=https://www.thebaghdadpost.com/ar/Story/t/674/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%B1%D8%B3 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AB%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%8A]Revolutionary Guards[/url] .
In an interview with Voice of America on the sidelines of the seminar, Brigant said: "I have heard that many senior leaders of the Quds Force of [url=https://www.thebaghdadpost.com/ar/Story/t/674/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%B1%D8%B3 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AB%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%8A]the[/url] Iranian [url=https://www.thebaghdadpost.com/ar/Story/t/674/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%B1%D8%B3 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AB%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%8A]Revolutionary Guards[/url] have resigned and left the country with their money, but I can not find identical sources of this information."
"We are facing a lack of information about [url=https://www.thebaghdadpost.com/ar/Story/t/674/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%B1%D8%B3 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AB%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%8A]the Revolutionary Guard commanders[/url] who have left office," he said.
"If these cleavages are confirmed, it will be very important," said the security expert and former lecturer at the College of International Security Affairs.
"At present, what we know is that the middle class officers of the Qods Force were displeased with the Iranian Supreme Leader's flexibility towards the United States during the nuclear agreement," said Brigant. "We know there are differences between the senior leadership and the leaders of the middle class."
This comes as the Iranian regime faces protests since the beginning of 2018 against high prices, high prices, poverty and unemployment.
The withdrawal of the US from the nuclear deal in May and then the return of sanctions led to a rapid deterioration of the economic situation, where the local currency "Real" a historic collapse against the dollar and lost 70% of its value.
The experts who participated in the symposium of the Institute "Hudson"Leaders split with Iranian security and intelligence services.
"The budget of Iran is declining, and the ability of the Iranian government to pay for its security forces is shrinking," said Iran's expert on defense for democracies, Bhnam Ben Talblo, in an interview with Voice of America on the sidelines of the seminar. An important part of the Iranian economy, the question now is: Will the regime rely on its security forces to defend itself against the growing protests? "
"This is a hypothetical question, but when severe sanctions are imposed in November 2018 and target Iran's revenues in 2019, this question will be a practical and experimental matter," he said.
