I'm seeing more and more reports of defections from the regime's military, even from the IRGC. But it's impossible to verify, there are many propaganda posts on all sides.

IRGC Defection Wave Grows

Reports of desertions within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iranian police are mounting. A source close to the IRGC told senior Iran analyst Dror Balazada @DBalazada
that the trend is expanding beyond isolated cases.

According to the source, defections are now being recorded in larger numbers in Isfahan and Tabriz, and not only among lower ranks.

Why the surge in exits?

Field units report a breakdown in communication with command centers in Tehran.

Many personnel feel they are being used as human shields while senior commanders remain sheltered underground.

Severe economic hardship: a cash shortage in Iran is leaving security members struggling to pay bills or even buy food.

The source warns that the growing unrest inside the security apparatus could signal deeper cracks within the Iranian regime. 🔥
