Iran's Revolutionary Guard Head: Rouhani's Government "Infected by Western Doctrine"
(Telegraph-UK) Richard Spencer - The commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Maj.-Gen. Mohammed Jafari, has accused Hassan Rouhani's government of being "infected by Western doctrine, and a fundamental change must occur," the Iranian Fars news agency reported. "The main threat to the revolution is in the political arena and the Guard cannot remain silent in the face of that," he said. There are increasing signs that Revolutionary Guards leaders are worried about rapprochement with the West, which undermines the political importance of the Guards as "chief guarantor of the revolution" - or its chief promulgator abroad.
