Iranian Leader Ayatollah Khamenei Replaces Head of Revolutionary Guard
Saturday, September 01, 2007

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei named a new
head for the elite Revolutionary Guard, an organization Washington is
looking to list as a terrorist group, state media announced Saturday.

Khamenei appointed Mohammed Ali Jafari, described only as a senior figure in
the hardline force, to replace General Yahya Rahim Safavi who has led the
Guards for the last decade.

The estimated 200,000-strong Revolutionary Guards answers directly to
Khamenei and is seen as a defender of the 1979 Islamic revolution that swept
away a pro-U.S. regime and founded the current religious republic.

Washington has accused the Guards of supporting militias and insurgent
groups attacking U.S. forces in Iraq - charges Iran denies.
