No confirmation about "seizing control", but riots across the country are escalating as the IRGC seem to be losing control- probably due to the lack of direction from above - and repeated attacks on their bases of course.....

Reports from western Iran say protesters have seized control of Abdanan after clashes with Revolutionary Guard forces.
There are some preliminary reports that Ahmad Vahidi has been named IRGC commander-in-chief, replacing Mohammad Pakpour.
If confirmed--and I haven't seen an official state media announcement yet--Vahidi will be a top target for Israel over the next days.
He is the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice for the AMIA bombing in 1994.
Vahidi was previously Quds Force commander, defense and interior minister, deputy chief of staff of the Armed Forces General Staff, and IRGC deputy commander-in-chief.
Internally in Iran, the series of top brass positions will position Vahidi as a formidable force in decision-making circles.
