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 Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution (Persian: سپاه پاسداران
انقلاب اسلامی / Sepāh-e Pāsdārān-e Enqelāb-e Eslāmi), often called
Revolutionary Guards, is a branch of Iran's military, founded after the Iranian
revolution on 5 May 1979. Whereas the regular military (artesh) defends Iran's
borders and maintains internal order, according to the Iranian constitution, the
Revolutionary Guard (pasdaran) is intended to protect the country's Islamic
system. The Revolutionary Guards state that their role in protecting the Islamic
system is preventing foreign interference as well as coups by the military or
"deviant movements". The Revolutionary Guards have roughly 125,000 military
personnel including ground, aerospace and naval forces. Its naval forces are now
the primary forces tasked with operational control of the Persian Gulf.
It flag is blue with yellow emblem. Image of flag:

"Basij" or "Sāzmān-e Basij-e Mostaz'afin" = "Mobilization Resistance Force"
(a sub-unit of the IRGC)
Looks similar to the IRGC flag, but "Sāzmān-e Basij-e
Mostaz'afin" is the bottom line on this flag.

Flag, Iran, Basij school militia-training, 2 varieties: blue/Pishgaman & red/Puyandegan
In the mid-1990s the Iranian government began militia training for middle
and high-school students. These students were being trained to serve after high
school in the national Basij militia (which supervised the student's training).
The middle-school students (12-14 year olds) served in the "Dynamic Resistance"
(Pooyandegan" or "Puyandegan") units with the red flag ("Puyandegan" is on the
bottom line). The high-school students (15-18 year olds) served in the "Pioneer
Resistance" ("Pishgaman") units with the blue flag ("Pishgaman" is on the bottom
line). Collectively, these students served in the "Scouts Forces" of the Basij.
On the left-side of both flags is a logo with an ink-pen atop a book, with
tulips symbolizing the martyrs of Iran.
