Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! El Basij es uno de los movimientos en los que se sustenta el sistema iraní, tiene sus propias normas y milicias para salvaguardar la revolución islámica que encabezó el Ayatolá Jomeini en el Irán de los años 70. Cuando se produjo la invasión Irakí , el ejercito de Irán estaba muy debilitado por las purgas en el anterior ejército del Sha, en consecuencia la falta de claidad se pagó con la sangre de combatientes voluntarios, muchos de ellos , menores de edad que sirvieron en el Basij. Entre sus misiones estuvieron los ataques en oleadas humanas encabezando estos para hacer explosionar las minas antipersona del campo de batalla En este podcast explicamos estos episodios.

The Iranian government is not coy about its silence tactics. Since Iran's Woman Life Freedom Movement began on 16 September 2022, unlawful executions, imprisonment, physical and sexual abuse has dominated headlines across the globe. It is estimated that tens of thousands of people have received some form of government retribution – and at the heart of it is a complex surveillance system that aids security forces in its endeavours. The Supreme Cyber Council oversees digital rule in the country, and combined with FATA (the Cyber police), BASIJ (volunteer law enforcement working with Iran's security forces) and surveillance spy software amongst other things, clamping down on dissent has never been easier. We speak to the women on the digital frontline between the state and their communities, investigate how court summons are issued based on social media posts and talk to experts about Iran's surveillance tactics.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. It is day 205 of the war with Hamas. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. In the past several days, Hamas has released two disturbing videos with Israeli hostages. Israelis await Hamas's response to the government's latest proposal for an accord following intense Egyptian mediation but the government has said it won't wait too long before the expected Rafah operation commences. Fabian puts the pieces together. We hear about the spread of IDF troops throughout the country and in the West Bank and Gaza as an indication of current hotspots in the ongoing conflict against Hamas and Hezbollah. Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary-General Naim Qassem warned Saturday that full-scale war will not bring residents of northern Israel home, but rather end their presence there “once and for all,” as Hezbollah attacks on the north and Israel strikes in Lebanon continued. Fabian explains what are some of Hezbollah's capabilities and how Israel can counter them. For the latest updates, please see The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Hamas airs clip of 2 hostages, as FM says Israel would delay Rafah op for a deal Hezbollah warns full-scale war may end Israeli presence in north ‘once and for all' THOSE WE HAVE LOST: Civilians and soldiers killed in Hamas's onslaught on Israel THOSE WE ARE MISSING: The hostages and victims whose fate is still unknown Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.  IMAGE: Illustrative: An Iranian domestically built missile is displayed in front of the portrait of the Lebanese Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah during a rally of Iran's Basij paramilitary force in support of the Palestinians in Tehran, Iran, November 24, 2023.

The origins of the Iran-cultivated alliance of like-minded states and groups taking aim at Israel and the US. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Quds, or Jerusalem, force and the Basij militias regularly feature in the news; what are they, how do they operate and how have they become so influential? In this episode, we look at the branding and the ideological blueprint of the Tehran-led influence network that has been shaping events in the Middle East for decades.

Welcome to this edition of the NCRI Women's Committee podcast. Every year, December 7 marks the Day of Students in Iran. On December 7, 1953, three students were killed by military forces on the campus of Tehran University's College of Engineering. Since then, this day has been known as Students' Day in Iran, honoring the struggles of Iranian university students.Iranian universities have long served as hubs of knowledge. Alongside knowledge, there emerges a deep longing for freedom. Consequently, many leaders of opposition movements in Iran have risen from universities, drawing from the most informed sectors of Iranian intellectuals.Today, we explore the pivotal role of female students within universities and their involvement in the 2022-2023 uprising in Iran.***It's fitting to remember dozens of young women who paid the ultimate price during the 2022 protests. Let's remember Donya Farhadi, a 22-year-old student of Architecture at Azad University of Ahvaz, in the southwest Khuzestan province. Donya had been missing since December 7 after she had an argument with Basij militia members on the campus that day. Her body was found on the 15th of December on the banks of Karun River in Ahvaz. Her chest had been pierced by three bullets. However, the regime initially claimed that she had jumped down from the Karun bridge and committed suicide.We also had the case of Nasrin Qaderi from Marivan, Kurdistan. She was 38 years old and a student of Ph.D. in philosophy. Security forces hit her on the head during a protest in Tehran on the 4th of November. She slipped into a coma and died the next day in a hospital. Again, the state media claimed that she had died due to a chronic disease. There was also Negin Abdolmaleki who was only 21. She came from Qorveh, Kurdistan, but studied medical engineering at the Industrial University of Hamedan. She was repeatedly hit on the head by batons during a protest on October 11 in the city. She was severely injured. When she returned to the dormitory, she died due to severe bleeding. The authorities claimed that she had been intoxicated by expired canned fish!!Let us also remember Behnaz Afshari, a 23-year-old woman from Pakdasht, in Tehran Province. She left home on the 26th of October to participate in protests in Tehran but never returned home. Her body was found after five days in forensics medicine.  Episode: Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1908986

The regime in Tehran has conducted a second public execution of someone, this time a twenty three year-old man, involved in the nationwide anti-government protests. The Iranian government says the man fatally stabbed two members of the Basij paramilitary force but human rights groups say he faced a sham trial. FOX's Alex Hogan speaks with Cameron Khansarinia, Policy Director at the 'National Union for Democracy In Iran', about these violent tactics and whether or not they will discourage protesters.

Las protestas contra el velo islámico obligatorio continúan en Irán tres meses después de que estallasen. A lo largo de la semana pasada se convocó una huelga de tres días que remataron con una gran manifestación por las calles de Teherán. El Gobierno ya no sabe qué hacer para detener esto, pero entre sus planes no se encuentra suprimir el hiyab. A cambio ofrecen cambios en el modo en el que se implementan las normas de vestimenta. Se ha hablado, por ejemplo, de disolver la policía de la moralidad y de emplear procedimientos más persuasivos para que las iraníes cumplan con la legislación referente al velo. El problema que tiene el Gobierno de Ebrahim Raisi es que las demandas de los manifestantes van ya mucho más lejos del asunto particular del hiyab. Es cierto que todo esto empezó en septiembre tras la muerte en dependencias policiales de Mahsa Amini, una joven de 22 años que fue detenida tras ser sorprendida circulando sin el velo islámico, pero también lo es que el malestar provocado por la muerte de Amini ha terminado sirviendo de catalizador a otro tipo de demandas que permanecían aletargadas dentro de la sociedad iraní en espera de la ocasión propicia. Esa ocasión parece haber llegado y el régimen es muy consciente de la amenaza. Eso vendría a explicar como la represión se ha intensificado en el último mes. Aparte de los muertos y heridos en el curso de las manifestaciones, la justicia ya ha sentenciado a muerte a dos personas por haber participado en las protestas. La última este mismo lunes, cuando un tribunal de la ciudad de Mashdad, en el noreste del país, ordenó que se ahorcase en público a un joven por haber matado a dos policías a mediados de noviembre durante una algarada callejera. La semana pasada fue ejecutado otro joven por agredir con un machete en Teherán a un miembro de los Basij, la milicia dependiente de los guardianes de la revolución, que desde el principio se está empleando a fondo para reprimir a los manifestantes. Ambas ejecuciones han ocasionado que más gente salga a la calle, esta vez para denunciarlas. Se trata de concentraciones silenciosas con velas que se organizan en las redes sociales. Están prohibidas, pero se celebran igualmente para desesperación de las autoridades. Hasta la fecha se estima que han muerto más de 400 personas y hay al menos 15.000 detenidos que atestan las comisarías y las cárceles. Pero el Gobierno no quiere dar su brazo a torcer. El hiyab es uno de los pilares sobre los que descansa la república islámica prácticamente desde su fundación hace cuarenta años. Creen que no pueden hacer una concesión semejante sin poner en peligro todo lo demás. Por de pronto lo que sí se puede apreciar por las calles de las ciudades iraníes es que la policía de la moral está mucho menos presente que antes. Han repintado los vehículos en los que patrullan para evitar ser identificados y procuran ser discretos en los controles rutinarios. Esto ha llevado a muchas mujeres, especialmente las jóvenes, a quitarse el velo en público. Hasta hace unos meses eso hubiese supuesto arresto e interrogatorio. Hoy ya son menos comunes las detenciones porque la policía se refrena y porque los problemas que tienen las fuerzas del orden son mucho más graves. La revuelta del hiyab se ha transformado en una contrarrevolución cuyas consecuencias podrían ser en el medio plazo determinantes para el país.

ईरान में हो रहे प्रदर्शनों को कुचलने के दौरान बंदूक और डंडे लिए बाइक सवार भी खूब चर्चा में हैं, इन्हें BASIJ (बासिज) के तौर पर जाना जाता है. क्या है BASIJ? कब इसकी स्थापना हुई और ट्रेनिंग किस तरह होती है, सुनिए 'ज्ञान-ध्यान' में.

Another Roqe Special Edition featuring interviews with those active inside Iran as the 2022 revolution builds momentum. Once again, Jian is joined by courageous young women and men who give a rare first-hand account of developments inside Iran despite a crackdown by the regime and internet blockages: Sami, a documentarian and comedian in Tehran, Sara, a professional employed in the field of logistics who is injured from an incident with the Basij yesterday, Sam, a young filmmaker and musician, and Marjan a painter in a city in the Gilan region. Plus Jian does an opening essay imploring UNICEF to address the murder of children in Iran, and the Roqe on-air Team discuss the latest from the Diaspora and whether and when people should be shamed for their silence on what is happening in Iran.

Längst fram i protesterna i Iran står nu skolflickor och studenter. Hör om de otroliga bilderna där flickor tar av sig slöjan, ger fingret åt regimen och trotsar rädslan efter Mahsa Jina Aminis död. Protesterna i Iran fortsätter efter att 22-åriga Mahsa Jina Amini dog efter att hon gripits av Irans moralpolis. Bland dem som demonstrerar finns nu skolflickor som syns på bilder och videofilmer där de tar av sig den obligatoriska sjalen och bokstavligen ger fingret framför bilder av Irans högste andlige ledare. Från en skola i Shiraz sprids en film som sägs visa hur kvinnliga elever omringar en medlem från moralpolisen Basij som bjudits in för att hålla föredrag på skolan. På andra platser marscherar flickor i skoluniform och viftar med sina sjalar i luften. Studenter demonstrerar på universitet i TeheranDet har också varit protester på flera universitet runtom i landet. Vid Sharif-universitetet i huvudstaden Teheran sattes kravallpolis in mot studenterna. På gatorna hörs slagord som kvinna, liv frihet och död åt diktatorn. Samtidigt som spektakulära bilder och filmer sprids är det svårt att bedöma filmernas äkthet och vad som verkligen händer inne i Iran.Hör om den unga generation kvinnor som tappat tålamodet och som öppet visar sin ilska i Iran.Medverkande: Parisa Höglund, programledare och producent på Ekot och Cecilia Uddén, MellanösternkorrespondentProgramledare: Johan Mathias SommarströmProducent: Katja MagnussonTekniker: Monica Bergmark

A fifth member of an Iranian volunteer paramilitary group died Sunday after clashing with what state media called “rioters and thugs,” as the country's President Ebrahim Raisi warned that protesters would be dealt with “decisively” after days of nationwide unrest. The person died from injuries sustained on Thursday in Urmia city in northwest Iran, Iranian state news agency IRNA said. Other members of Basij, a paramilitary organization connected to the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), have been killed in Qazvin, Tabriz, Mashhad and Qouchan. The protests have been sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish Iranian woman detained by morality police on September 13 accused of violating the country's conservative dress code. Hundreds of anti-government demonstrators returned to the streets of Tehran and dozens of other provincial towns as darkness fell on Sunday, despite claims by state-run news agencies that pro-government rallies have put an end to the protests. The protesters organized themselves despite a crackdown by security forces, arrests of protesters and internet disruption. Protesters chanted anti-government and anti-Supreme Leader slogans, as well as “death to dictator,” while venting their anger against the Basij militias. Since Friday, demonstrations have taken place in at least 40 cities nationwide, including the capital Tehran, with protesters demanding an end to violence and discrimination against women as well as an end to compulsory wearing of the hijab. At least 35 people have died in Iran in recent protests over the death of Amini, state media outlet the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) said late on Friday. Amnesty International previously said that 30 people had died. CNN cannot independently verify the death toll — a precise figure is impossible for anyone outside the Iranian government to confirm — and different estimates have been given by opposition groups, international rights organizations and local journalists. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/world-voices/support

Un grupo militar iraní compuesto por niños usados como carne de cañón

In this episode, Rustin is joined by Dr. Neda Maghbouleh and Dr. Amy Malek to interview Dr. Narges Bajoghli, Assistant Professor of Middle East Studies at the School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, about her new book, “Iran Re-Framed: Anxieties of Power in the Islamic Republic.” Dr. Bajoghli talks about how she came to spend ten years in the field as an anthropologist studying members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, Ansar Hezbollah, and Basij paramilitary organizations. Through a study of their media production, she explores how these men developed strategies to reach the youth, how they understood their own life trajectories, and tellingly, their deep anxieties about the future and their place in it. She also explains how she takes a “3D look at power in Iran” and its relation to the ethics of fieldwork, particularly among subjects that one disagrees with. This book offers a multilayered story about what it means to be pro-regime inside the Islamic Republic of Iran, challenging what we think we know about those who continue to support its revolution.

Sobre cómo se ha desdibujado en Venezuela la figura del colectivo, entendida como grupos donde se fomenta la cultura, el arte y el deporte, entre otros valores para el desarrollo de la sociedad. En Venezuela además que estos grupos se han politizado, con los fines de perseguir a la disidencia contra el gobierno actual, la mayoría se han convertido en grupos paramilitares comparados con los Basij iraníes.

Iranian American scholar, Narges Bajoghli spent ten years interviewing filmmakers and journalists working for Iran's most feared organisations, the Revolutionary Guard and the paramilitary group the Basij. After the Islamic revolution in 1979 and the Iran/Iraq war of the 1980s there's a widening generation gap on the future of the Islamic republic.

I talk about the killing of the Basij commander and the recent elections in Taiwan and what they (might) mean in the big picture.Thanks for listening! Music is from Stinger https://freesound.org/people/SoundFlakes/sounds/413732/ 

For months, we at Israel News Talk Radio – Beyond the Matrix had asked why the Trump Administration hadn’t developed a strategy to confront Iran’s jihadi regime? This was after Iran downed a US reconnaissance drone and launched a drone and cruise missile attack crippling Saudi Arabia’s oil processing and storage facilities. The New Year saw an abrupt shift to active deterrence with the dramatic killing of Iran’s powerful Ouds Force commander Soleimani and the regime lying about its downing of a Ukrainian airliner with 176 passengers aboard shortly after it took off from Tehran’s Khomeini Airport. That set off massive Iranian protests calling for the fall of the hated Islamic regime and its Supreme Ruler, Ayatollah Khamenei. The sequence of stunning events included a US air attack at an Iran Shiite proxy base in Iraq in late December that killed 25 fighters and destroyed Iranian supplied precision rockets used in an attack at a US base near Kirkuk killing a US contractor. That brought out Iran-backed Iraqi Shia militia forces who tried to force entry to the US Embassy in Baghdad in the Green Zone; thwarted by the arrival of 100 US Marines from Kuwait. On January 3rd, Iran’s powerful Quds Force Commander and Number 2 Islamic Regime figure, General Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi Shia proxy Commander Abu Mohammed Al- Humandis were killed in a US MQ9 Reaper drone strike at Baghdad airport. On January 7th the IRGC launched 15 missiles at US Iraqi bases, Al-Asad and Erbil in Western and Northern Iraq clearly aimed at killing US troops based there. There were no casualties, but there was damage to the facilities and destruction of a helicopter. Within hours of that on January 8th a “lethally incompetent attack” by an Iranian Russian-supplied Tor SA-15 air defense missile destroyed Ukrainian Air Flight Ps 752 with 176 passengers and air crew. Most of the victims aboard the fateful flight were ex-pat Canadian Iranians and Iranian students. The Islamic regime was caught lying about the downing of the plane prompting massive protests across Iran. Videos of the protests revealed cries of “Death to the Dictators” and “Don’t blame America” as well as, beatings, use of tear gas and shooting of protesters by Iranian security police and the dreaded Basij paramilitaries. The Islamic regime was left stunned on its backfoot forced to acknowledge its downing Flight 752. Iran’s economy was already reeling from the Trump maximum pressure campaign and announcement of new sanctions. David Goldman in an Asia Times article cited how fragile the economy is with a drop in real income, swooning fertility, three years of drought and an incompetent water management system.

Narges Bajoghli’s gripping new book Iran Reframed: Anxieties of Power in the Islamic Republic (Stanford UP, 2019) presents a riveting ethnography of pro-regime media networks in Iran, and sketches an intimate portrait of the actors, projects, and infrastructures invested in preserving and packaging the memory of the Islamic revolution 40 years later. Written with sparkling clarity, Iran Reframed provides its readers an unprecedented tour of the multiple sites, discourses, and social imaginaries that inform and define efforts of former members of the Revolutionary Guard and the Basij paramilitary organizations to forge narratives of nationalism that might connect with and affect the new generation across ideological divides. The biggest strength of this book is the layered complexity with which it presents its actors, and their conflictual aspirations and anxieties surrounding the encounter of media, memory, and revolutionary politics. This stunningly brilliant book will compel its readers to reconceptualize, rethink, and indeed reframe Iran, Iranian politics, and the interaction of memory, narrative, and the media more generally. Iran Reframed will also be a delight to teach in various undergraduate and graduate seminars on Religion and Media, Anthropology, Middle East Studies, Islamic Studies, Politics, and much more.

In her book Iran Reframed: Anxieties of Power in the Islamic Republic (Stanford University Press, 2019), Narges Bajoghli takes an inside look at what it means to be pro-regime in Iran, and the debates around the future of the Islamic Republic. Now entering its fifth decade in power, the Iranian regime faces the paradox of any successful revolution: how to transmit the commitments of its political project to the next generation. New media ventures supported by the Islamic Republic attempt to win the hearts and minds of younger Iranians. Yet, this new generation—whether dissidents or fundamentalists—are increasingly skeptical of these efforts. Iran Reframed offers unprecedented access to those who wield power in Iran as they debate and define the future of the Republic. Over ten years, Narges Bajoghli met with men in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, Ansar Hezbollah, and Basij paramilitary organizations to investigate how the media producers developed strategies to court Iranian youth. Readers come to know these men—what the regime means to them and their anxieties about the future of their revolutionary project. Contestation about how to define the regime underlies all their efforts to communicate with the public. This book offers a multilayered story about what it means to be pro-regime in the Islamic Republic, challenging everything we think we know about Iran and revolution. Narges Bajoghli is assistant professor of Middle East Studies at the School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University. She is the director of the documentary The Skin That Burns. Her academic research focuses on the intersections of media, power, and military in Iran. She is a frequent commentator on NPR, PBS, and the BBC. She received her PhD from New York University.

After listening to Narges Bajoghli speak, you might just reconsider your preconceived notions about Iran. She’s a post-doctoral research associate in international affairs at the Watson Institute at Brown University, and recently received her PhD socio-cultural anthropology from New York University. Her research focuses on pro-regime cultural producers in Iran, and is based on fieldwork conducted with Basij, Ansar-e Hezbollah, and Revolutionary Guard media producers in Iran, from 2009 to 2015. Narges is also the co-founder of the non-profit organization Iranian Alliances Across Borders (IAAB), and she’s been featured in media outlets such as the New York Times Magazine, Washington Post, PBS NewsHour, and NPR, among many others. Narges and I talked about the Iran-Iraq war playing a key role in contemporary Iranian politics; the biggest misconceptions about the IRGC and Basij; the relationship between Iran’s government and people; survivors of chemical warfare in Iran; and how a 24-year old 2Pac song speaks to a lot of what’s going on in America today.

In this episode, Rustin is joined by Dr. Neda Maghbouleh and Dr. Amy Malek to interview Dr. Narges Bajoghli, Assistant Professor of Middle East Studies at the School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, about her new book, [“Iran Re-Framed: Anxieties of Power in the Islamic Republic.”](http://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=29666) Dr. Bajoghli talks about how she came to spend ten years in the field as an anthropologist studying members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, Ansar Hezbollah, and Basij paramilitary organizations. Through a study of their media production, she explores how these men developed strategies to reach the youth, how they understood their own life trajectories, and tellingly, their deep anxieties about the future and their place in it. She also explains how she takes a “3D look at power in Iran” and its relation to the ethics of fieldwork, particularly among subjects that one disagrees with. This book offers a multilayered story about what it means to be pro-regime inside the Islamic Republic of Iran, challenging what we think we know about those who continue to support its revolution.
