TL;DR · WeSearch summary

Iran has witnessed a parade of armed women in several cities, showcasing their involvement in the country's military efforts alongside the IRGC. While state media promotes these events as a demonstration of support for the regime, questions have arisen regarding the authenticity of the videos, with some suggesting they may be digitally altered. This development occurs amid significant domestic unrest and a backdrop of ongoing conflict with the US and Israel.

Key facts

▪Videos show women carrying rifles and riding in armored vehicles in at least six Iranian cities.
▪The parades are promoted by state media as part of a 'jihad of women' supporting the Islamic Republic.
▪Some footage has been questioned for potential AI editing, and the Iranian authorities have not confirmed any material as fabricated.
