    I also have the same question: Who is this new guy?

    As for the Times article, I think that USA would be stupid not to have all kinds of plans. It does not necessarily mean that they would use this one or any of the others. As a matter of fact I am quite skeptical regarding any articles on imminent attack because for the last two years I have read many “informed” articles stating that the attack will come any day now and……………. nothing.

    Hmm. I should do a penalty for not remembering that “google is my friend”. Perhaps need to say it couple of times to remember.
    Mohammad Ali Jaafari - that’s the guy!
    Mohammad-Ali Jaafari (who is not believed to be related to Mohammad Reza Jaafari) was until now the commander of the IRGC Ground Forces and has been given the task of devising a new command structure and military strategy for the IRGC that would give the elite military force unlimited access to national resources and absolute priority over the regular army in case of a foreign military confrontation. In a previous interview, Mohammad-Ali Jaafari said that this strategy would be based on “asymmetric warfare” and mentioned suicide operations as a key element of the strategy.
