Tehran, YJC. IRGC official said the ideology of Basij, introduced by Iran which means a movement of volunteer forces backing the revolution, has encouraged other Muslim nations to stand up for their rights against the arrogant powers.
Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Lieutenant Commander
Brigadier General Hossein Salami said in a gathering of Basij forces in Isfahan
on Wednesday. "The ideology of Basij has lead to the failure of the hegemonic countries’
policies in Syria,”
The commander also described the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance
movement as the "encarnation of Basij in Lebanon”, adding that the movement
succeeded to "inflict the heaviest defeat on Israel” in the course of the
33-Day War.
The 33-Day War, also called the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War
and known in Lebanon as the July War, was a military clash in Lebanon, northern
Israel and the Golan Heights. It began in July 2006, and went on until a
UN-brokered ceasefire went into effect in August 2006, though it formally really
ended on 8 September 2006, the time when Israel lifted its naval blockade of
Lebanon.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Salami stated the ideology of
Basij has also incited people of Yemen to fight arrogance.
Yemen is grappling with a protracted transition since
long-time president Ali Abdullah Saleh was forced from power in February 2012
after a deadly 11-month uprising.
The Arab country is currently beset with political unrest
and clashes between the central government and Ansarullah revolutionaries.
