Basij is a Persian word, which means mobilization. It was formed after the Islamic Revolution in 1979. At that time, the leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ali Khomeini, believed that this organization would always keep Iran safe from America. Only people from rural Islamic conservative background are included in Basij. At the local level, this organization controls the people through the mosque.
On a large scale, this organization is controlled by the Iran Revolutionary Guard. There are about 2 crore soldiers in this organization, whose age is between 18 to 50 years. During 2009 and 2022, this organization called Basij suppressed the rebellion in Iran. Now once again Basij has got the responsibility of suppressing the rebellion in Iran.
America has imposed sanctions on the Basij force and some of its commanders. America considers it a dangerous organization. According to the International Human Rights Commission, the Basij group plays a leading role in violently suppressing waves of dissent in Iran.
Protests regarding inflation are taking place in Iran since December 27, 2025. These protests are taking place against the government. According to Iranian President Masoud Pejeshkian, the demand of the protesters is justified, but some rioters have hijacked the entire demonstration.
