Iran Opens 3 Tehran Centers to Train Women in Firearms

Geopolitics16 days ago

Female volunteers in the Iranian capital began receiving weapons instruction and tactical training on October 4, 2026, to prepare for potential wartime scenarios. Three civilian centers were opened across Tehran, including a site at Imam Hussein Square, where women learn to handle rifles and perform basic maneuvers to protect their homes and neighborhoods.

The training program targets the defense of families and communities in the event that conflict reaches Iranian soil. This mobilization effort focuses on increasing civilian defense capabilities and rifle proficiency as tensions persist between Iran, the United States and Israel.
