Show Summary 6/21/09 Tehran riots History of some other revolutions and their results A young woman shot Role of the Iranian Army Comparison of Tiananmen Square and Iran How Iran put a stop to the protests. However, Iran state television says at least 13 people were killed in clashes on Saturday. Al Jazeera's Nazanine Moshiri reports. The Washington Institute for Near East Policy The Security Forces of the Islamic Republic and the Fate of the Opposition Film and television footage of the protests show that this time the Basij are in the lead in dealing with the unrest, with LEF playing a supporting role. IRGC units have not yet been committed. This is consistent with the growing role assigned the Basij since 2003 as the first line of defense against possible U.S. regime-change attempts -- whether through an invasion or a color revolution. It is not clear, however, that this apparent confidence in the Basij is justified. While the recruitment base of the Basij is much narrower than that of the IRGC (which draws on conscripts from all sectors of Iranian society), it is a volunteer force that many join for opportunistic reasons -- for a paycheck, a scholarship, or a bit of authority. And while the Basij is probably more thoroughly vetted than other mass organizations (due to the role of local clerics and mosques in the recruitment process), it is hard to believe that its membership is insulated from the broader political forces Why Gandhi tactics wouldn't work in Iran.

From DEBKAfile: President Obama favored losing candidate in Iran's election DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis June 13, 2009 Friday night, June 12, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was already on his way to victory in Iran's turbulent presidential election although only the first votes had been counted. By Saturday morning, it was clear he had won a landslide for a second term, widening the gap with his closest rival opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi. Yet strangely enough, even then, Washington and the US media were still doggedly insisting that that the reformist Mousavi could still make it in a run-off, although that door had been finally slammed shut by the president's broad majority. So how come the Obama administration, with so much at stake, continued to back the loser well after his defeat could no longer be denied? DEBKAfile's Washington sources have two explanations: 1. The White House was given erroneous intelligence evaluations about the way Iran's presidential election was managed. The administration's Iranian experts missed the point that in Middle East politics (except for Israel) it is not the people who determine an election, the shape of government and its policies but the unelected head of the tribe - in this case supreme ruler Khamenei.
