Iran holds mass wedding for those who pledged to sacrifice lives in war with US, Israel

Iran’s government held a mass wedding ceremony in Tehran on May 18 as part of its “Sacrifice for Iran” event, The Associated Press reported.

The public weddings were organized for couples enrolled in a state-sponsored initiative declaring their willingness to sacrifice their lives in the event of renewed military action between the United States and Israel.

Ceremonies took place across major squares in Tehran, where more than 100 couples participated, according to Iranian media reports cited by The Times of Israel.

Participants had signed up for the so-called “self-sacrifice” scheme — known as ‘janfada’ — where volunteers pledged to put their lives on the line, including by forming human chains around infrastructure such as power stations, Iranian media reported.

Iranian officials say millions of people have registered for the initiative, including senior figures such as Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and President Masoud Pezeshkian, according to Iranian state media.
