Videos emerging from Iran on social media appear to show women carrying Kalashnikov rifles and riding in armoured vehicles mounted with machine guns through streets in at least six Iranian cities, in displays promoted by state media as evidence of women's participation in the country's war effort.
The footage, claimed to have been shot in Rasht, Tehran, Mashhad, Qom, Bushehr and Qazvin, shows the women moving in organised convoys alongside IRGC personnel, who can be heard chanting pro-regime slogans.
