Iran Opens Military Training Centre for Female Volunteers in Tehran
Iran has opened a military training centre for female volunteers at Azadi Square in Tehran, with women participating in various military exercises, including firearms handling, rappelling and zip-lining.
The training centre was inaugurated on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, as part of a nationwide campaign aimed at preparing civilian volunteers to defend the country against potential military threats.
During the opening activities, women carrying assault rifles were seen scaling down walls, using zip lines and participating in weapons-handling exercises.
According to Iranian authorities, the initiative is designed to strengthen national defence preparedness and equip volunteers with basic military skills, as well as emergency response and logistical support capabilities.
The programme, known as Janfada, meaning “Sacrifice for the Homeland”, forms part of Iran’s wider efforts to mobilise civilians amid concerns over a possible military confrontation with the United States.
