The recent article from Rzeczpospolita delves into the influential Iranian organization known as the Basij, particularly in the wake of a significant event where a general was killed during a missile strike aimed at a meeting of its commanders. The Basij, often referred to as a militia or volunteer force, operates under the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and has been pivotal in reinforcing the regime's control over Iranian society. The implications of the death of this general are profound, as his role is set to be filled by 31 individuals, indicating a shift in the organizational structure and strategy of the Basij amid growing tensions in the region.
