NCRI – Brig. Gen. Azizollah Rajabzadeh, Chief the State Security Forces in greater Tehran – mullahs' suppressive police -- announced the start of a six day "maneuvers" by the force under his command in the capital, reported the state-run Mehr on Saturday.

Rajabzadeh called the new move "public security and serenity."  He then went on to say,"30,000 SSF agents with 4,000 military vehicles and 50 helicopters will guarantee Tehran's security during the maneuvers."

On November 1, Brig. Gen. Abdullah Iraqi, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Crops (IRGC) Prophet Mohammad's garrison in charge of Tehran's protection announced a new security plan for the capital, reported the state-run news agency Fars.

"Units from Bassij [paramilitary Bassij force] joining the regular State Security Forces (SSF) – mullahs' suppressive police-- began patrolling the streets of capitals," Iraqi said.

"We tested these units for their performance on duty with regular SSF units and the results were overwhelming. Thus, since October 28, the mix Bassij and SSF units went fully operational throughout Tehran. The units will replace the fixed check points operating in the capital," Iraqi added.
He said that the reasons for the changes were a better security respond to the citizens' growing need for higher security in Tehran's districts.

However, the real reason behind the IRGC and SSF new plans are adopting more suppressive measures against rising popular protests in Tehran and elsewhere in the country.
