Iranian authorities stage mass public wedding ceremonies in Tehran for couples who sign up to a state-sponsored scheme describing their readiness for “self-sacrifice” or sacrifice in a war against the United States and Israel, according to multiple reports citing Iranian media. The ceremonies take place late on Monday across several major squares in the capital. Reported figures include more than 100 couples in Imam Hossein Square in central Tehran, with hundreds of couples overall attending the events. State television broadcasts the weddings, which are presented as part of an effort to boost wartime morale. Coverage also describes the scheme as involving volunteers who declare commitment to sacrifice their lives in the conflict. One outlet adds that prominent Iranian figures, including Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and President Masoud Pezeshkian, are said to have submitted names, and it characterizes the scale as involving millions of people. The outlets differ mainly in the details emphasized—such as whether reporting refers to “self-sacrifice” or “wartime sacrifice”—but they consistently describe coordinated mass weddings in Tehran linked to a government-backed pledge for the ongoing regional conflict.
