Hijab Protests Sow Doubt and Confusion among Iran's Revolutionary Guards
(Sunday Times-UK) Melanie Swan - Leaked recordings have revealed that Gen. Qassem Qureshi, deputy commander of the Iranian Basij paramilitary, said "a huge fraction of the revolutionary forces on the streets are experiencing doubt and confusion." Moreover, in documents seen by The Times, IRGC soldiers receive on average $300 a month. By comparison, Lebanon's Hizbullah militia soldiers earn $1,300. "While Hizbullah militants get richer, the Iranian public is hitting rock bottom," the source said.
