The Iranian Regime Will Do Everything to Stay in Power
(Jerusalem Post) Menashe Amir interviewed by Jeremy Sharon - Menashe Amir, former head of the Israel Broadcasting Authority's Persian language division, said that for the Iranian protests to turn into a revolution, there would need to be desertions from the security services - including the Revolutionary Guards and the Basij militia - to the side of the protesters. He noted, "They are trying not to kill [the protesters], but if there is no choice then they will not refrain from killing. Those sitting in power know that if they fall, everyone will be killed, their lives will be in danger, and therefore they will stand to the last moment and do everything to stay in power."
