Special Units Command of FARAJA (Persian: فرماندهی یگان‌های ویژه فراجا Yegānhā-ye vīzheh-ye pāsdārān-e FARAJA), acronymed YEGUP (Persian: یگوپ),[1] is a subdivision of Law Enforcement Command of the Islamic Republic of Iran in charge of its special forces.

[3] The Special Units, with roots in the Islamic Revolution Committees,[4] were led by Mojtaba Abdollahi from their establishment until 2012.

In 1994, the Special Units quelled riots in Qazvin, and in 1995 they confronted a major protest by bus and truck drivers in Eslamshahr.

According to Brigadier General Karami, 20,000 troops were deployed to provide security to the Arba'een ceremony in 2019.

These units have names dwawn from Shia tradition: Mûsâ ibn Ja‘far, Imam Hussein, and Amīr al-Mu'minīn.

[13] The cooperation with other organizations, such as the Basij, is key to perform plainclothes infiltration and snatch arrests of the riot leaders.

[14] According to Behnam Gholipour, field commanders motivate actions of their subordinate personnel by using religious justifications.
