SSF drills in TehranNCRI – Brig. Gen. Azizollah Rajabzadeh, Mullahs' suppressive police chief in greater Tehran announced the end of a six day long "drills" in the capital, reported the state-run news agency ISNA on Saturday.

"With the new plan the police has in mind for Tehran, there will be no room for criminals to commit a crime," Rajabzadeh said.

Police will turn Tehran into an island of security and serenity soon, he added.

Many local residents were astonished by the tactics the State Security Forces (SSF) — mullahs' suppressive police — had employed throughout the games. Using at times heavy weapons not customary even by the Iran regime standards; mortars, military vehicles just to name a few.
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 SSF units 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.
