About the flag

An Iran "Pasdaran" (or Iran Revolutionary Guards) flag. It is the similar to Iran Army (Basij) flag. The difference between these 2 flags is that the Basij flag includes the wording of "NIROUYE MOGHAVEMATE BASIJ-E SEPAHE PASDARAN" at the bottom of the Pasdaran emblem. That makes the flag special for the Basij as the Basijis work under supervision of the Pasdaran.

The Pasdaran (Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps) are a parallel military outside the regular armed forces. The Basij is a paramilitary force (militia-like) under the command of the Pasdaran. For more information see see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Revolutionary_Guards_Corps.
