CTP’s third thread on #Iran’s state security services discusses some of its vulnerabilities – an expansion on yesterday’s thread on the structure and organization of these security forces. 1/7
The regime’s first major challenge is ensuring the ideological commitment and subordination of its security forces. The regime has seen dissent and defections among low-level security personnel in almost every major protest movement since 1979. 2/7
This dissent and defections have never been large-scale, but have alarmed the regime enough that they have developed increasingly ideological and well-trained forces, such as the LEC Special Units and elite Basij personnel, for protest suppression. 3/7

Yazd’s unique Persian architecture is based on adaptations to its arid climate. So, there are cisterns, wind towers, underground canals (qanat) & adobe mud houses (yes, in the old town and villages!). Pics show all these & Sassanid ruins in Kharanaq

One can also see a Yakhchal in Meybod (icehouse of mud brick, adobe construction to let natural light in, but otherwise insulated from the sun though high walls). A caravanserai (on the old Silkroute) can be seen too, which has now become a place for visitors.

I just saw a #FakeNews in yellow media which are probably close to #Iran's Islamic Regime. They falsely claim that #Israel destroyed an Uranium mine in #Meybod, #Yazd! But this image shows the famous steel & iron factories in #Meybod & also there is No sign of explosion!
These are Ghadir Iranian Iron & Steel Co (IGISCO) factory, Chadormaloo Steel Factory & Ardakan Pelletizing Plant! Left image is taken on 5 July 2020 and right one is for 30 June 2020! Not a single sign of explosion there! Sad to see some people believe in such #FakeNews!
Imagine if this was the entrance or gateway to your home, your town or neighborhood? #GoodUrbanism means dignified entrances and portals. #Lübeck
#GoodUrbanism means building squares and streets for the public in the front, and to balance the public areas with increased levels of privacy by secluded #Courtyards, mews, backyards, hofs just a few steps from the busiest streets or liveliest squares. #Lübeck #Germany
#GoodUrbanism means building for the ages. A backyard townhouse can become a workshop, chapel, cafe, bookstore, startup, stables, bakery, factory, dentist, pharmacy, tattoo parlor, print shop, stained glass maker, newspaper office, or just someone's beloved home. #Lübeck #Germany
