IRGC Head: Basij Now Subordinate To IRGC
| From the Dept. of Things That Make you Go Hmmm: |
The head of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Mohammad Ali Jaafari, has declared that, on orders from Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the paramilitary Basij forces are now officially subordinate to the IRGC. The reason for this move appears to be the need to strengthen the regime's ability to handle domestic threats.
