IranBriefing – For the last 24 years, since Ayatollah Khamenei took power, the IRGC realized that the best and most efficient way to fight its future enemies will be Human Robots who would think and act as they are told and programmed by IRGC commanders. During the 8 years of Iran-Iraq war more than 1 million people were killed and became disabled on both sides. The loss was grave during the last years of Iran-Iraq war, and unlike the first few years of the war when volunteers ranging from 13 to 75 years old were pouring to the battle fields, it was becoming cumbersome to convince people to 
volunteer to fight. This, among other things, finally pressured Iran to accept United Nations Resolution 598. It was this war that laid the foundation for the IRGC to come up with a better way to fight future battles or have a hegemony in the region.
During the 8 years of the Iran-Iraq war, Ayatollah Khomeini and the media that was in full control were very successful in persuading the young and elderly men and women to rush to the war and support the military machinery. People from basically every walk of life, from farmers to university professors, participated in the war. They were dying in thousands during major combat efforts. They were fearless to walk over the mines and were shattered in pieces in the name of Islam and martyrdom. The promise was a paradise with dozens of virgins. This was a great motive for many. But for those who were not motivated by the intangible paradise and virgin beauties, the regime had other things in mind: better or high paying jobs, positions, housing, discounted household and so on. But then Khomeini was getting old and the country’s resources were draining, and the fatigue slowed down the military machinery that the IRGC was counting on. The war ended when IRGC no longer had resources to continue the war and Khomeini accepted the defeat. The Iranian population was around 40 million, the oil refineries were not working even with half their capacities, income from oil was miserable, morale was in its lowest point, and the country’s political system and media were tired of war. The IRGC needed to have a full control on all as 
well as having unlimited human and financial resources to fight the next war without a defeat. They came up with a plan to control Iran’s economy, politics, and they already were in control of the military.
It took IRGC about 20 years to have a total grip on all three branches of the government. Now, they are not only in control of judiciary, executives, and legislative of the government, but they are also governors, mayors, member of parliaments. They are in control of sport, schools and universities and in control of their curriculum, and they have even just started controlling kindergartens. Most importantly, they control the largest and most profitable companies in telecommunications, the oil industry, the gas industry, the petrochemical industry, the stock exchange, and basically wherever there is money and power. They have their own port and customs; they do not pay a penny as tax, and even if they start paying custom dues or taxes, their money is going to go to their own pocket since they are in full control of the budget and where the money has to be spent.
Power of Religion and Fatwas
Very soon IRGC realized that they could expand their grip beyond what they had envisioned. They figured out that the only factor that was able to send people over the mines during the Iran-Iraq war was the power of religion. In the aftermath of the fraudulent Iranian election in 2009 where many poured into the streets to protest the election results, many were arrested, tortured in prisons, and forced to confess crimes 
they had no clue of. However it was very difficult to get confession from some prisoners. The IRGC had a way to get confessions from those who were not yielding to tortures: raping prisoners, a method that would demoralize almost any prisoners no matter how strong they are. But they needed a religious Fatwa or justification for it, and it was not easy to get. Even though many religious clerics condemned that method, they were able to find a few Ayatollahs such as Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi who would not only give permission for it and justify it religiously, they made that act even a reward for them in the day of Judgment. This powerful religious fatwa that allowed IRGC to enable people to commit the most despicable act prompted them to rein on this power and have a full control on that as well. This was the first stage of creating Human Robots.
Discerning Ambassadors
IRGC’s agenda was to immediately have a full control over religious clerics by decommissioning or retiring the existing clerics and building its own religious seminaries and training its own clerics and Ayatollahs. The project was called “Discerning Ambassadors” that started more than 2 years ago and it has completed its first phase successfully. These religious students or “Discerning Ambassadors” who are also official IRGC members soon would become Ayatollahs and will replace any institutions or 
government bodies where Ayatollah Khamenei has his own men. IRGC has also been planning for a day when Ayatollah Khamenei is dead or not in power. These “Discerning Ambassadors” could justify any crimes IRGC would imagine committing. These “Discerning Ambassadors” are programmed, trained, and ordered to give a religious Fatwa on any despicable act in the name of religion. For example today we could see them easily justifying funding money to the Syrian regime that so far has killed more than 25,000 of its own people. These “Discerning Ambassadors” are all over in social media, cyberspace, and virtual world such as Facebook as well as they are present physically in countries such as Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and other places as part of Quods Force. Their main role in social media, such as Facebook, is to guide the attention and discussion away from Iran’s internal problem toward IRGC’s interest inside Iran and around the world. Today we see thousands of users in various Social Media as virtual agents of IRGC, some are defending IRGC and some are acting as opposition to the Iranian regime and IRGC to spy on users all over the world. With billions of dollars from the oil money controlled by IRGC funding thousands of users is not a difficult task.
The Next War
IRGC’s goal is to dominate the region today and the world tomorrow. If they are not stopped today, the next war is near. IRGC prepares for the coming of Mahdi or Messiah, an ideology that is strongly rooted in Shia religion, and IRGC and the Islamic Republic have capitalized on it for its survival by crushing the opposition the West wants to prevent Mahdi from coming. They believe Mahdi will come and bring justice with him,
and before that a war has to break out and Israel has to be destroyed. This is why IRGC is so reckless on all its decisions and drags Iran into another war with the West. For its survival, IRGC needs a nuclear bomb that can reach Israel and Europe, and for that it needs time. This is the only way IRGC can threaten the West to yield to its demands. Time has run out for IRGC, and the only option to get more time is to start a war in the name of religion. Democracy and freedom of speech is the end of IRGC in Iran; therefore, the world would need to push for it, not for the sake of the Iranian people, but for the sake of freedom and peace in the region and the whole world. This is a task that neither Iranians can do by themselves, nor the world can do humanely without the Iranian people. Unlike other events such as Arab Spring or the uprising in Syria, the situation in Iran is very different, IRGC is in every part of the ordinary Iranian people’s life (religion, politics, economy, daily life at work or at home). It is like a cancer that has spread all over the body and the body can not fight it anymore. Either the cancer has to stop on its own (coup d’état by some brave IRGC members), or it has to be destroyed with all forces available (Iranian people and Western countries who care about tomorrow).
