Iran Guards Recruit Children to 'Defend the Homeland'
Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps is recruiting children as young as 12 to fight in the ongoing war, sparking concerns over their safety and the use of minors in the military.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps has launched a campaign aimed at recruiting children as young as 12 for the âdefence of the homelandâ. More than a month into the war triggered by the US and Israel, rights groups highlight the life-threatening risks for Iranian children and stress that the use of minors in the military constitutes a war crime.
