Hossein Taeb

Hossein Taeb is head of Iran's Basij militia, named in the 10 august command decrees. Hossein Taeb was named head of the Basij on 10 August. The Basij is the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' volunteer militia, and the appointment was included in six senior military decrees issued that day. The formal command changes followed the March succession to Mojtaba Khamenei

. Another decree in the group formalised Ali Ozamaei's existing command of the IRGC Navy, first recorded in July . Taeb's post matters because the Basij has a domestic and wartime mobilisation role. The decree names its head, but it does not state a new deployment policy or a response to a specific event.
