Creeping Coup

28/01/2023 12:30 GMT

First broadcast: on BBC Persian TVLatest broadcast: on BBC Persian TV

The documentary is about the internal protests staged by a group of prominent IRGC members against the IRGC's commander-in-chief and other decision-makers of the Iran-Iraq war. Emphasising that the IRGC's war policies won't lead to a victory for Iran, they suggested that some high-ranking commanders have a political agenda that prevents them from fulfilling their military duties. The protesters were especially concerned about what they called a 'creeping coup' in the IRGC, in the middle of the war, by a number of politicized commanders and their political allies. Show less
