NCRI – The deputy commander of the Iranian regime’s State Security Forces (SSF) has announced the creation of a commission for “psychological operations” in order to confront protests and uprisings against the mullahs’ plans to cut subsidies.
Bahman Kargar, whose comments were published by the state-run Fars news agency this week, said, “The psychological operations commission is mandated to analyze and review the day-to-day social issues and challenges, as well as the social wounds, that the enemies seek to exploit.”
“This includes the law of targeted subsidies and such instances, which will be reviewed regularly in this commission in the presence of its members and experts,” he added.
Describing the Iranian people’s protests against the clerical regime as “psychological warfare,” Kargar said, “Psychological warfare is a lot more challenging and difficult to deal with than a military conflict.”
Meanwhile, the deputy commander of the paramilitary Bassij Force, Fazeli, used the analogy of “flames burning under the ashes” to describe the situation of the Iranian society. He said, “Such an extensive sedition was unprecedented in the revolution’s history.”
“In order to prevent further seditions, awareness must be continuously raised, because the enemies of the establishment are not sitting idly and are actively seeking ways to harm the establishment. The sedition is analogous to flames still burning under the ashes.”
