His return signals that Tehran fears it might need to manage unrest in the near future. Hossein Taeb, the cleric who commanded the Basij during the 2009 crackdown on the Green Movement and led the Revolutionary Guards' intelligence service for 13 years, has been reappointed as head of the IRGC's militia. The decision to bring back one of the Islamic Republic's most senior internal security figures to a frontline position in the early months of Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei's rule is part of a recent reshuffle among the Islamic Republic's political, military and security elites. The appointment signals that the Tehran regime's new leadership is preparing for possible unrest at home, amid the ongoing war with the US and mounting economic pressure from sanctions. Taeb joined the IRGC as a teenager and later served in the Ministry of Intelligence before returning to the Guards. He became Basij commander in July 2008, less than a year before Iran's disputed presidential election triggered the mass demonstrations of June 2009 known as the Green Movement. The Basij played a central role in the crackdown that followed.
