The first public training center for saints was opened in Azadi Square. Sardar Selarkia, deputy coordinator of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Greater Tehran, said: The people are the defenders of this revolution, and they have defended this system for the past 47 years with the presence and participation of all its sectors. About 33 million people declared their willingness to defend the revolution, almost half of them women. We are happy to open today the first public training center for martyrs in Azadi Square, to provide a suitable environment for the education and preparation of women for the defense of the system and the revolution.
