Iran trains women in arms in the face of a possible ground invasion
Amid tensions with the United States and Israel, Iran has launched training programmes for civilians, including many women, with the aim of preparing them to respond to a possible land invasion. In Tehran places and training centres, participants receive training in weapons management. However, Iranians are unable to hold the same positions and perform the same functions as men, as the system maintains a strong gender differentiation, leaving them in an extremely unequal situation.
