The Islamic regime is making more changes in its top military command. By such measure, the regular Iranian Army is falling completely in the hands of commanders coming from the Ideological and Islamist Pasdaran Corp. (Revolutionary Guards). The changes have been notified following direct orders issued by the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, who seems to be worried by the current unprecedented geopolitical and internal factors.

The new changes are: Seyed Abdol-Rahim Moossavi appointed as the "Head of the Joint Armed Forces' Commission"; Ali Shamkhani as the "Head of the Central Investigation and Defense Operations Office"; Sadjaad Koochaki-Badlani as the "Commander of the Navy"; Mohammad-Reza Achtiani as the "Head of Overall Armed Forces"; Abdol-Ali Poorchasb as the "Deputy of Armed Forces Actions" and Mohammad-Hossein Dadress as the "Head of the Terrestrial Forces".

These new nominations are following other nominations made in August following the take over of the Islamist government by Mahmood Ahmadinejad and his Revolutionary Guard colleagues.
