#2 Reminds me of Hitler's 'Nacht und Nebel' decree
to make political activists disappear into the night and fog. Someone in Tehran must have found Adolph's old play book.

#6 The JSP is there to prevent insurrection. The IRGC has historically refused to intervene in civil uprisings. I'll conjecture that the Baseej are being used to 'reinforce' regular military units units.

Also notice that they are being placed in an urban area. If past information is right, the JSP is made up of folk from the rural areas; the government's stronghold. Appears they aren't sure they can really count on that.
