The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran has reportedly ordered all of its members to stop using communications devices, at least until they can all be inspected.
The order came a few days after pagers and handheld radios used by the Iran-backed Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah blew up, killing 39 and injuring over 3,000 more.
Two senior Iranian security officials told Reuters on Monday that the IRGC plans to inspect all of the electronics carried by its operatives. The IRGC gets most of its equipment from China and Russia and, in the wake of the Hezbollah blasts, the IRGC fears its supply lines may not be secure.
The security officials said Iran is also worried about “infiltration by Israeli agents, including Iranians on Israel’s payroll,” so a “thorough investigation” of middle- and high-ranking IRGC officers has begun. MORE
I’d say IDF succeeded in their ultimate goal
Awe… no more Radio Derka Derka.
I am reading that actual Hezbollah warfighters don’t use those things. They mostly use buried fiber optics and couriers to communicate. Almost all of the people killed and wounded were non-combatants who were in Hezbollah’s occupation administration, which performs day-to-day operations and services in governing south Lebanon.
If all of this is true—and I have my doubts—Israel’s “victory” was not the master-stroke it is being portrayed as, and Hezbollah’s military position was not dealt a serious blow, in spite of the massive civilian collateral damage. Note the the attack which allegedly killed a number of Hezbollah commanders did not involve pagers or radios, but missiles.
And if all this I am reading is true, and not just cope, Israel has made a big blunder and certainly hadn’t won any hearts and minds with this pager stunt. Israel may have wasted time and resources being clever.
But when your tormentors are brutal, you must also be brutal. So make sure that your own brutality is effective and persuasive. Meanwhile Hezbollah has not moved an inch northward of the Litani River. This is not like Gaza. Not at all.
Thirdtwin – I think you are right. I know I read months ago that they (Hezbolla) had gone to couriers for messaging. Hadn’t heard of the Fiber, but it makes sense, however boobytrapping pagers, cell phones and walkie talkies really sends a powerful message that makes them pretty twitchy about using anything as in “what else have the Jews rigged up?”
Harry….yes, it makes them think before using any type of communication device in future. Akin to Project Eldest Son….do I really want to fire this weapon?!
Back to the stone age! Oh wait…

That is what they’d have you believe anyway. Their propaganda arm in the western “journalism” establishment are going to push whatever they are told.
IDF should deliver a huge Trojan Horse to them with a sign saying Acme Joo Bomb and when they open it…kaboom.

You want secure comms?
Two cups and a string.
Orrrrr……courier.
…so how did they communicare the “do not use your communication devices” order?
@JDhasty
Which propaganda arm, though? Left, or right? Jewish, or Muslim? I don’t trust any of them anymore. The facts in these events usually come out later, in an oblique way, and we have to connect the dots in time and space to get some semblance of the truth.
If by, say, June 2025, Hezbollah is still dug in south of the Litani River, Israel is still “mopping up” in Gaza, and Netanyahu is under house arrest, how successful, really was the pager strike?
