New IRGC commander may have got the job for his PROXY WAR success against the USA


New commander of Iran's elite forces prepares for asymmetrical war with the United States

"Jafari is a professional that believes that any means justify the ends," an intelligence analyst said. "He is prepared to do anything to save the regime."

  • Task: New commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps

  • Whereabouts: Teheran
    Mohammad Ali Aziz Jafari, the new commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, plans to focus on determining U.S. weaknesses in preparing for any war with Washington. Unlike his dismissed predecessor, Jafari, regarded as an expert in U.S. military capabilities, has eschewed politics for military strategy.

    U.S. intelligence analysts said the appointment of Jafari marked Teheran's preparations for a war with the United States and a major crackdown on domestic unrest fomented by Washington and London. The analysts said Jafari would focus on the use of Iranian nonconventional weapons and terrorism in any war with the United States.

    Since we know that Iran thinks they can damage the US economy and thus drive us away with $100+ oil, any takers on security in Elizabeth, NJ?

    "Jafari is a professional that believes that any means justify the ends," an intelligence analyst said. "He is prepared to do anything to save the regime."

    The analysts said Jafari was behind Iran's silent campaign to drive the U.S.-led coalition from Iraq. They said he organized the so-called Special Groups, comprised of Shi'ite cells trained and equipped by IRGC.

    The Special Groups have become expertise in the assembly of improvised explosive devices, particularly the Iranian-origin explosively-formed penetrators. Special Groups operatives are sent for training either in Iran, Iraq or Lebanon. In Lebanon, the Iraqi Shi'ites are taught sabotage, EFP assembly and intelligence by Hizbullah.

    Jafari has long been viewed by Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei as the professional needed for any confrontation with the United States. But Khamenei was cautious in dealing with Jafari's predecessor, the politically-connected Yahya Rahim Safavi, who was IRGC commander for a decade.
