When Basij started its activity, there were few people who could imagine this expansion and growth and this effective network in all fields. V. Afroud: The general meaning of Basij means the presence of people in all fields, and part of this presence is related to the general presence of people in major social activities. Another part of people’s presence in Basij is related to their organized presence in the form of units to defend the revolution.
Of course, there is a third level that many people cannot believe, and that is the specialized presence for missions and special operations. Sardar Hassanzadeh stated: At the beginning of the formation of these units, many people opposed it and believed that it was not possible to carry out these missions with Basiji forces. Units that are heavily invested in other countries and defined only for specific missions at specific times and places.
