Revolutionary Guards back conservatives

Is Iran going off the rails? What would you say? Imagine if the British or US Army involved itself in politics in this way:

Agence France-Presse - 10 February, 2008
Iran's Revolutionary Guards commander, in a break with accepted practice, has openly called for voters to support the conservative wing in parliamentary polls, Iranian media reported on Saturday.General Mohammad Ali Jafari, head of the Islamic republic's ideological army, said: "To follow the path of the Islamic revolution, support for the Principalists (conservatives) is necessary, inevitable and a divine duty of all revolutionary groups."
