A video circulating in Iranian opposition circles appears to show a soldier from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps describing a severe breakdown in morale and command structure within the regime’s ground forces.
In the footage, the soldier claims that commanders have abandoned their positions, leaving troops without direction as daily airstrikes force them into constant hiding.
He describes confusion, fear, and exhaustion among fighters, saying they are repeatedly told to “wait” without any clear objective or plan. According to his account, units are left in disarray, with no leadership and no understanding of what comes next.
The soldier expresses deep frustration and fear, saying the conditions are unbearable and that many around him have fled. He ultimately calls on the regime to surrender, suggesting that the situation on the ground has become hopeless for many within the ranks.
