00:21Iran is expanding its civilian military mobilization campaign, and women are now
00:27taking part in weapons training under the IRGC and Ba'zish. The program, known as Jan Fada, meaning
00:36those who sacrifice their lives, has moved beyond registration and public rallies into
00:41organized military instruction. At a newly opened Jan Fada training center at Imam Hussein
00:49Square in Tehran, volunteers are being trained in marksmanship, weapons handling, and defensive
00:55equipment. Iranian state media has reported that similar centers are planned in other
01:01cities. Recent footage and reports show women participating in these training sessions. Their
01:08instruction reportedly includes rifles, FPV drones, anti-tank weapons, urban warfare techniques,
01:16and first aid. Earlier this month, Iranian officials also discussed large-scale exercises involving
01:23women affiliated with the Ba'zish. The instruction is part of a broader effort to organize the
01:30Jan Fada volunteers into defense units and battalions. Ba'zish chief Hussein Tayeb has said the program
01:38is moving toward the formation of more than 1,000 battalions, with volunteers receiving different
01:44levels of military and emergency response training. Iranian authorities frame the mobilization as
01:51preparation for national defense and readiness amid continuing tensions with the United States
01:57and Israel. But the scale of the campaign remains disputed. Iranian officials have made very large
02:05registration claims, while independent reporting has questioned whether those figures represent
02:10unique and verified participants. The campaign has also attracted criticism inside and outside Iran.
02:19Iron Wire has reported that some Iranian officials and IRGC commanders have expressed concerns about the
02:27expansion of Jan Fada and the growing role of armed volunteers. For now, the message from Tehran is clear.
02:35The Jan Fada campaign is no longer simply a mobilization drive. It is increasingly putting volunteers
02:42through organized military training, with Iranian women among those being prepared for potential wartime roles.
