🇮🇷Rear Admiral Ali Azmaei has been appointed the Commander in Chief of the Sepah Navy, by order of the Leader of the Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei.
He’s a veteran of the Iran-Saddam War, a naval asymmetric warfare specialist whose daring exploits alongside his contemporary Martyr Nader Mahdavi have become the stuff of legends.

I love the “daring exploits” language. DPRK also says this phrase a lot.
We are seeing Mojtaba Khamenei begin to appoint loyalists from the IRGC, which I think will do well to thwart and potential civil coups the reformists might be thinking of.
Do Reformists even have evough backing to attempt such an act? The assassination of Ayatullah Khamenai as well as the mass murder of those 180+ school girls has certainly turned the public against USA and any sort of compromise with it(as evidenced by the recent chants in the funeral procession of Ayatullah Khamenai). Any sort of coup now would be suicidal for them
I don’t think they could effectively mount a military coup, as they don’t have the capacity against the IRGC. However they’ve mobilized their supporters in the past into removing undesirable political oppents from the legislative portions of Iran’s system. It’s not likely they attempt a coup, but it’s a possibility that wpuld be foolish to ignore.
