Apparently Iran finds the need to publicize allegiance among its minority paramilitary forces.

Very good way of activating and engaging the border Iranians in defending the country. I hope they can create a high level of de-centralized command and control to the border areas so they feel they are in charge of planning and executing defense measures. Looking forward to more pictures!
