Iran holds mass weddings to bolster wartime morale and sacrifice
Iranian authorities staged hundreds of public weddings in Tehran for couples who joined a state-backed “self-sacrifice” janfada program, pledging to give their lives in the war against the US and Israel. The ceremonies in Imam Hossein Square were broadcast on state TV to boost morale amid ongoing hostilities, part of a broader pro-government mobilization that reportedly involves millions signing up.
