Will the IRGC stage a coup and take over the leadership of Iran?

[MarathonMike]

I posed that question to Google Search and this was the AI response. We hear very little about this from our worthless Media. It seemed pretty obvious to me that the Regime has lost Command and Control and the IRGC is asserting itself.

AI Overview

As of April 2026, reports indicate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has effectively executed a "silent coup" or de facto takeover in Iran, sidelining President Masoud Pezeshkian's civilian administration. Following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and with his successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, out of public view, the IRGC has tightened its grip on military and political decision-making, transforming Iran into a de facto military state.
Key Aspects of the IRGC Takeover:

• De Facto Control: The IRGC is reportedly managing daily operations through a council of military commanders.
• Sidelining the Executive: President Pezeshkian’s decisions and appointments are being blocked by the IRGC. For example, IRGC chief-commander Ahmad Vahidi blocked a new intelligence minister appointment.
• Wartime State: The IRGC is prioritizing military objectives over political concerns, following significant military setbacks.
• Ideological Shift: The IRGC represents a harder line than previous administrations, pushing for a "scorched earth" policy rather than political restraint.

This transition has created a "complete political deadlock," with the IRGC securing key areas of governance, such as oil, banking, and critical infrastructure, and managing the security perimeter in Tehran. The IRGC is now in charge, with civilian officials having little influence on current national strategy.

If they want scorched earth then they shall have scorched earth.

The IRGC will rule the ashes.

That sounds like Putin's Russia!

Dunno, but Iran's pres is useless fighting war. If they surrender, Jewmerica will just dismantle them and take them over.

/----/ Mike, a tip on getting the most out of AI. Kim Komando is a tech broadcaster heard daily on hundreds of stations.
Kim Komando's primary advice for interacting with AI is to give it a job title or persona before you ask it anything. She argues that most people get mediocre results because they treat AI like a simple search engine rather than an expert.

According to her recent guides, here is the breakdown of why and how to use titles:

The "Job Title" Rule​

Instead of asking a generic question, tell the AI exactly who it should "be." This narrows the AI's focus and significantly improves the quality and tone of its response.

• The Bad Way: "Write me podcast titles about phone scams."
• The Komando Way: "You are a social media expert who develops podcast titles and descriptions that make people stop scrolling and pay attention."

Practical Title Examples​

She suggests using specific professional roles to "unlock" better answers:

• The English Professor: "You're an English professor. Find any typos or grammatical errors in my blog post."
• The Life Coach: "You're a life coach. Help me create a plan to achieve my goal of meditating every day."
• The Expert Copywriter: Shouting at an empty room for a headline gets a random answer; asking a copywriter gets results.

How to Make the Title "Stick"​

To avoid repeating these roles in every search, she recommends using built-in settings:

• ChatGPT: Use Custom Instructions (Settings > Personalization) to paste your default role.
• Gemini: Use Gems to create custom versions of the AI with specific titles pre-baked.
• Claude: Use Projects to give the AI a specific role for a recurring set of tasks.

"Tell the AI who to be before you ask it anything. Try it once, and you’ll never go back." — Kim Komando
