This guy slaps a woman. As the saying goes "f**k around and find out"
Is there any point in rehashing an 8-months old, uninteresting "Tweet" which had been shared before?
Also in the full version of the video, one can see how the woman extends her hand in the direction of the motorcyclist while saying or shouting something, probably an invective. Only then does the man walk towards her.
Honestly there's no excuse for a soldier in this day & age to be wearing a WW2 era helmet. Instead of arming Iranian soldier properly, they prefer to send the money to Hezbollah or the PMU in Iraq.
1) The PMU have enough resources of their own at their disposal. Iraq is an oil exporting nation.
2) Any sane decision maker will prioritize protection against military aggression by the USA and allies over equipping every unit of the ground forces with the latest and most expensive gear. The former includes heavy investment in ballistic and cruise missiles, UAV's, air defence systems and radars, fast attack craft and small submarines, underground facilities, the nuclear program as well as regional allies.
3) HezbOllah are a numerically tiny force of a few tens of thousands. The Iranian military by contrast numbers up to several millions when counting in the Basij paramilitary. So there's nothing out of the ordinary here.
Realistically Iran doesn't have a large army. IRGC is like Iran's professional military. Iran's military, The regular army, 2/3rd are conscripts, however there are some professional units. Then there's paramilitary units like Basij, which supposedly number 500,000 - 1 million. In reality conscripts are basically being trained as a reserve force of sorts. Yes people can always be mobilized in times of war, but when you have a large pool of people with who have gone through some basic training, it makes the process much easier.
Basij personnel exceed a million, and 1,5 million troops represent a very large military already.
