In western Tehran, a dedicated training center is preparing female volunteers to respond to a range of threats under Iran's "Jan Fada" (Sacrifice for Iran) campaign.

The training covers everything from handling weapons and operating mortars to fighting fires and carrying out emergency rescues. The initiative is aimed at strengthening civilian preparedness amid escalating regional tensions with the US and Israel.

Here, CGTN's Sepehr Saremi met two women, both named Faeze, who expressed their determination to defend their cities if American and Israeli soldiers were to enter the country, while the men would head to the battlefields.

Iranian authorities say more than 31 million people have signed up for the nationwide mobilization campaign since February.

Watch Sepehr Saremi's full report from Tehran to see how these women are preparing to take on these roles.
