Since its foundation, the IRGC’s main task has been suppressing the Iranian society and preserving the regime’s security. To prevent the capital from falling and quell possible protests, the regime founded Sarallah Base in 1995. According to the regime, Sarollah is one of the security bases of the Revolutionary Guards in Tehran, tasked with managing the security of the capital and other cities of Tehran province. It is the main security unit within the IRGC;
Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) commander Hossein Salami appointed Brigadier General Hossein Nejat as his deputy and acting commander of the IRGC’s Sarallah Base in Tehran, which is tasked with confronting possible uprisings. This move shows the regime’s utmost fear of the restive Iranian society and another possible uprising;
In times of crisis, at the discretion of the Supreme National Security Council of the regime, the Sarollah base is responsible for the security of Tehran province. The Ministry of Intelligence, the police, and all government ministries are under operational control of this base;
Three IRGC provincial garrisons, Mohammad Rasoulallah in Greater Tehran, Sayed ol-Shohada Garrison in Tehran Province, and Imam Hassan Garrison of Alborz Province, near Tehran, as well as hundreds of Basij militia bases, the IRGC’s 27th Division in Tehran and the 10th Division in Karaj are part of the forces under Sarallah’s command;
Due to its importance, Sarallah is under the direct command of the IRGC’s commander in chief. Now engulfed with crises, Salami appoint Hossein Nejat as the acting-commander of Sarallah;
In a nutshell, Sarallah headquarters is an important part of the security apparatus of the IRGC, under the direct supervision of its commander and its primary responsibility is to provide security for Iran’s capital;
