Iranians gathered in central Tehran are being taught how to handle AK-47 rifles as authorities expand public military training amid fears fighting with the United States and Israel could resume.⁣
⁣
Training booths set up by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps across the capital are offering civilians lessons in assembling and using assault rifles, with officials describing participation as voluntary.⁣
⁣
The sessions come after a ceasefire paused nearly 40 days of conflict following the killing of Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei in U.S.-Israeli strikes earlier this year. Organisers say more advanced weapons training could follow.⁣
