Trump didn’t see this coming? Iran couples pledge ‘sacrifice’ as renewed war fears rise

Iranian authorities reportedly held a mass public wedding ceremony in Tehran on May 18, bringing together 110 couples in Imam Hossein Square at a time of heightened wartime tension. Reports describe the event as more than a symbolic marriage gathering, saying the couples were linked to a state-backed “self-sacrifice” initiative presented as part of Iran’s wider resistance and mobilization messaging.
