IRGC’s Basij just performed a 10,000 drill, named “Sovereign Iran”, in the deserts of central Iran [Persian].

While the official news claim that Basij is preparing for “probable infiltration of the enemy to Iranian cities”, the fact that they are using riot police equipment had made me thinking that the “enemy” is probably going to have Persian names.See more pictures in the photoblog.
