An explanation about Ali Karimi's implicit request to the army to intervene in the protests for the death of Mahsa Amini

With respect to Ali Karimi, a person who tried not to be silent like many of his colleagues and to be with the people.

Ali Karimi's national concerns and a different sense of desire are commendable, especially in the absence of the loss of Iran's Mahsa.

Regarding his tweet, which implicitly asked the army to confront other military forces, I must say that in the current structure of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the possibility of a conflict or a coup d'état of the armed forces and action against others is absolutely not possible at this level.

Inviting the army to enter the event can cause different perceptions of the government to invite the confrontation of the armed forces against each other. Especially the confrontation between the army and the IRGC, which based on this tweet, security scenario writers will use as justifications and possible tough action of the Islamic Republic.

Basically, the hierarchical structure of the armed forces is such that Khamenei does not accept centralization.

Even after Sardar Firouzabadi, who became the trustee and head of the General Staff of the General Forces and then the General Staff of the Armed Forces for many years, with the appointment of Sardar Bagheri to this position, he followed this procedure of decentralization of power in one person more seriously.

With the same approach, the leader of the Islamic Republic separated the responsibility of the General Staff to Sardar Bagheri and the command of the central headquarters of Khatam al-Anbia and entrusted it to Sardar Rashid.

I hope this explanation has clarified the conditions and the type of communication of the armed forces.
