He was speaking to Iran's paramilitary forces which has conflicting reports putting the membership between 400,000 and the force's commander's claim of eleven million. This paramilitary group is called the Basij that is a volunteer force. Most of its younger members are students that are "connected to the university and the scholarly atmosphere on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is connected to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps." In the course of his remarks to the Iranian Volunteer Forces, Khamenei said, "Even Europeans are speechless before this oppressive America," and that Iran has countered America's power.
