Iran Admits Recruiting Children as Young as 12 for War Support Roles
An official from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the minimum age for war-related support roles has been lowered to 12. Participants can now help with patrols, checkpoints and logistics. This move conflicts with Iran’s commitments under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Reports showed children in military gear during 2022 protests, and rights groups accuse authorities of using lethal force against minors. The regime is openly recruiting children to fight and die in its wars. I wonder how its online defenders will respond to these abuses. They decry Israel for “genocide” but stay silent when Iran involves kids. People like God1000 will never condemn this. If you attack Jews with weapons, you and your family pay with your lives.
