Bummer: Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Ban All Electronic Devices

This is the fallout from the pager and walkie talkie strikes

Iran’s Guards ban communications devices after strike on Hezbollah, security officials say

Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has ordered all members to stop using any type of communication devices after thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies used by its Hezbollah allies in Lebanon blew up in deadly attacks last week, two senior Iranian security officials told Reuters.

One of the security officials said a large-scale operation is underway by the IRGC to inspect all devices, not just communication equipment. He said most of these devices were either homemade or imported from China and Russia.

Iran was concerned about infiltration by Israeli agents, including Iranians on Israel’s payroll and a thorough investigation of personnel has already begun, targeting mid and high-ranking members of the IRGC, added the official, who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter.

The security official declined to give details on how the IRGC force, comprising 190,000 personnel, are communicating. “For now, we are using end-to-end encryption in messaging systems,” he said.

According to the same official, there is widespread concern among Iran’s ruling establishment. IRGC officials have reached out to Hezbollah for technical assessments, and several examples of exploded devices have been sent to Tehran for examination by Iranian experts.

Man, that’s a real shame. How will the IRGC troops get their TikTok dance videos? Really, this may end up being something that goes on for a long time, and, if Israel is smart (and they are) they’ll get some pagers, phones, and walkie talkies mixed in that they can blow up in a few months, especially for a big wig. Throw IRGC and other Iranian communications into disarray.

Meanwhile

The UN designated Hamas a terrorist organization, and now wants to protect employees from prosecution for working with Hamas.

    Accusations with no evidence is not evidence.

    A kidnapped captive reporting seeing snack paks with UNRWA stamps is not evidence that UNRWA workers were involved in the Oct 7 massacres.

    ONLY US Presidents deserve dipolmatic immunity!!

      Another imbecilic rant from the Rimjob. https://www.thepiratescove.us/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_bye.gif

      Remember that the next time you start your bullshit about Trump you got from some commie source.

        Hi CarolAnn! Hope all is well with you and yours…

        I don’t need no stinkin’ sources! Just like Jaded “Sofa Mart” Vance (R-OH), I “create” stories to mislead the populace!!

    Why would local national employees of the UN get Diplomatic immunity? Most embassy employees do not get diplomatic immunity unless they are diplomats or specifically recognized as such by the host nation. This is obviously the UN trying to cover for their own pro-Hamas faction that they know operate in Gaza. This isn’t even a secret. It would have been news if UNRWA were not involved in attacks on Israel. This makes the UN itself complicit if not openly allies.

    It is greatly amusing to me that Israel has managed to bump Iranian, Hamas, and Hezbollah communications back to couriers, hand delivering messages. Not just for secret and sensitive information, but for everything so that they don’t get blown up.

    MOre on Trump and Iran’s good buddy, Vlad:

    Vladimir Putin was facing humiliation today after his ‘unstoppable’ Satan-II missile exploded, obliterating Russia’s only test site for the hypersonic weapon.

    Satellite images show the destruction left behind by the explosion at the Plesetsk test site in northern Russia, which partially wrecked an observation building close to the launch site, indicating there may be casualties among rocket scientists.

    4 of 5 tests have failed. The hypersonic Satan II was designed to fly over the North or South poles avoiding detection. These failures could set back the program by years, saddening the MAGA community greatly.

    Vlad uses Russia’s “vaunted” nuclear capabilities and his bluster in attempts to control other nations. It’s unlikely that even the crazy -ike-FOX Vlad would risk the complete annihilation of Russia.

    HOw long will Xi, Kim, Modi and Khamenei continue to subsidize Russia’s military? Russia, like MAGA, opposes any and all global efforts to reduce oil and gas consumption since these are its greatest exports.

    On the other hands, Netanyahu, the Ayatollah Khamenei and Hezbollah appear intent on a broader middle east conflict.

    Finally a conspiracy that makes sense! Trump, MAGA, Russia, Xi, Khamenei all stridently oppose any and all global warming remediation and favor Trump’s election. They all push the idea of an emergent WWIII that only Donnie can prevent. Trump will push sending US coal to Xi and importing Russian and Iranian petrol. Trump cares little for the US but he cares a lot about his own hide!

    Global bad guys and billionaires support Donnie for Prez. Donnie stays out of jail, the bad guys “own” America. Done and done!

    Adolf Hitler was a dispatch-runner in World War I. Perhaps the Revolutionary Guard will create the Hitler Dispatch Runner Service in his honor.

      New systems that are not clearly understood just create more chaos that enemies can exploit. Since the Israelis already had ICON radios ready to explode after pagers exploded, I am sure they already have a plan to monkey with the new courier networks and intentionally sewed distrust in the signal layers just for that purpose. If you had the capability to set off pagers and then radios, would you do it just to cause a handful of casualties? or would you save it for a time and place where it does the most effect for your campaign plan? Unlike American CIA, where the only campaign plan they have is interfering with the next US election to support Democrats, The Israeli intelligence services aren’t stupid and they are indeed operating on a plan, not just showing off.
