Tehran, the capital of Iran, is hosting an unusual military training exercise. In Vanak Square, one of the city's busiest points, practical weapons training for civilians has begun. The fact that the majority of participants are women stands out as the most striking detail.
BOTH THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL TRAINING
In a special platform set up in the square, a program conducted with three expert instructors in military attire conveys all the details about weapon use to citizens. The training covers how to technically disassemble and reassemble weapons, and the intricacies of proper aiming are demonstrated practically. The training is not limited to theoretical explanations; participants, mostly women, are allowed to personally disassemble and assemble the weapons.
WILL BE EXPANDED TO OTHER SQUARES
This practice, held in Vanak Square and drawing intense interest especially from women, is expected to be implemented in other major squares of the city in the coming days. Meanwhile, it was reported that public information efforts are not limited to the streets; technical information about weapons is regularly conveyed to citizens through programs broadcast on Iran State Television.
