Iran acknowledges death of Basij militia commander Gholamreza Soleimani

Iran's IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) has acknowledged the death of Gholamreza Soleimani, commander of the Basij militia.

The statement says this "cowardly murder" shows the "importance and role of the Basij" in their "battle" against the US and Israel.

The Basij is a volunteer militia, whose approximately one million members are often called out to the streets to use force to suppress dissent. It is controlled by the IRGC.
