Iran inaugurated another all-women military training camp in Tehran on Tuesday, Nov. 10, as fears over renewed attacks from the U.S. and Israel grow while mediations falter.

Video shows dozens of female “Janfada,” or volunteers, rappelling from a wall and ziplining at the training camp, while many carry assault rifles as part of their training. Courses on urban defense, air defense, and rescue operations are also offered at the training camps.

Iran has opened three similar training centers for both men and women. Authorities have vowed to train one million volunteers under this campaign.
