I don't know how much of this news coming out of Iran is serious, and how much of it is bullshit, bluster, propaganda, and a setup. I can't imagine the IRGC just saying "ok, you win. We give up.", throwing their hands into the air, riding off into the sunset and disappearing - yet they appear to not even be attempting to control the streets if this report is true. The man says they've just disappeared.
I dunno. I'm always waiting for the other shoe to fall, for the "gotcha!" moment in reports like this. I reckon I'll believe it's really happening when I see video of the Mad Mullahs hanging from lamp posts on Tehran.
I reckon I always expect the "gotcha" because back in about 2010, I got suckered into believing something was gonna change during an Iranian "uprising", and I ran a Tor node for a while to facilitate communications in and out of Iran to bypass their censorship/ identification efforts, to keep the "protestors" safe, but it all fizzled out to nothing and heads rolled anyhow when the Mad Mullahs regained control. I'm a little reluctant to believe since then in any big changes coming to Iran at all.
