🎥 It seems that, after the massacre in Dey and one year of war in Iran, officials of the Islamic Republic are moving toward a more aggressive policy than before—both in the sphere of domestic policy and in the sphere of foreign policy. The new appointments of senior military commanders from among people whose names are familiar from the days of the war could raise the question of whether the Islamic Republic is approaching a change in the way it deals with the United States. In the field of domestic policy as well, the appointment of “Hosein Taieb” as head of the Basij affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) could indicate a hardening of the Islamic Republic’s approach. “Ata Mahamed,” a collaborator at IranWire, has also written a report today on the same matter.

In the news segment of Friday, the 23rd of Mordad, on IranWire Television, we spoke with Ata Mahamed about this report and asked him whether, given the new appointments of senior military commanders, the policy of the Islamic Republic is becoming more aggressive?
