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

The (Iranian) Revolutionary Guards is officially known as "The Army of the
Guardians of the Islamic Revolution (Persian: سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی /
Sepāh-e Pāsdārān-e Enqelāb-e Eslāmi, or Sepāh for short), which is a branch of
Iran's military, founded after the Iranian revolution in 1980".
