ANALYSIS
JRS website published an interview with Ebrahim Nabavi called "Trojan horses at Azadi Square". This article makes a few recommendations for the 22 Bahman protests:
- "... I suggest we assume a model such as Trojan War. We all go to a specific location and a specific time without showing our true intentions at first. Once we arrive, we all take out our green scarves and bands and this way we can identify ourselves. This helps the greens find each other quickly and direct the slogans that they want to shout ...." 
-"... An insurgency is not necessary. The presence of vast and green crowds is enough to confuse the speaker and take over the streets. Remember that you do not intend to take over the media or the city, you just want to show your large presence to each other and the authorities. So even though you feel like moving toward revolution, stay calmed and don't get too excited ...." 
-"... Our strategy is a psychological warfare, not a street war. We can prove our majority and that our votes were stolen (by showing our presence). After the protests sent photos and writings to other independent media sources"
He finished by saying: " We have entered a great war for freedom. The people look to us, we are the people. The Basij wear plain clothes and have a thousand faces so we must hide our faces from them. We must come gently like a fog, or a breeze and then take them like a storm, a green storm".

RECOMMENDATIONS AND WARNINGS
