February 13. 1979 Civilians routed Iran's elite guard who organized the revolt that ended the monarchy, urged his followers to avoid "arson, destruction and cruelty." He said those indulging in such acts disobey "Allah's orders and are traitors to the Islamic movement." One source said the shah-appointed prime minister. Shahpour Bakhtiar, was under the protection of his old friend Mehdi Bazargan, named by Khomeini as prime minister of the new Islamic Republic.

Western military attaches here predict regional military commanders elsewhere in the country will keep their 200,000 soldiers, nearly half of whom are conscripts, in their barracks, and make no move against the capital. Thus, Iran's armed forces, numbering more than 400,000 men, on whom the shah spent great amounts of money, failed to save him from exile and to keep his capital from falling to civilians, including communists and other leftists as well as military units loyal to Ayatollah Ruhollah Kho meini. "As a fighting force the army has been humiliated," a military attache at a Western embassy here commented. "As a political influence, its weight is greatly reduced." "It is a tragedy to see this happen to a force with such fine tradition," the senior officer said.

"But I am not surprised. I think the imperial guard was wrongly trained and badly commanded. But in the end you cannot ask a modern army to fight its own people."
