The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Reports are emerging of multiple new attacks targeting Basij militia units, the street-level enforcers used by Iran’s Islamic regime to police neighbourhoods and suppress dissent.

Several checkpoints and militia positions are said to have been hit overnight, continuing a pattern of strikes against the regime’s internal security network.

The Basij have long served as the front line of the dictatorship’s control on the streets — running checkpoints, monitoring civilians, and crushing protests.

Now those same units appear to be coming under sustained and systematic attack.

If the reports continue to mount, it could signal a serious weakening of the regime’s ability to control the streets inside Iran.
