IRGC Tehran Corps Deputy Announces Recruitment of Citizens Over 12 for Operational and Security Roles

Rahim Nadali, deputy of the 'Mohammad Rasoul-Allah' IRGC corps of Greater Tehran, appeared on a television program and announced the implementation of a plan to recruit and organize Tehran citizens in operational and security areas. He claimed that many teenagers are eager to participate in what he described as 'security defenders' programs. He also revealed that all individuals 'above 12 years old' can register for the plan. This comes as the Islamic Republic has previously been accused multiple times of the 'military use of children.'
