IRGC-Affiliated Tasnim Publishes Video of Fatemiyoun Motorcycle Parade in Tehran; Afghan Proxies Seen at City Checkpoints

IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency has published a video of a motorcycle parade by Fatemiyoun members — the Quds Force's proxy forces composed of Afghan citizens — in the streets of Tehran. Concurrent with the war, parades of other foreign proxy militias of the regime, such as Hashd al-Sha'bi (PMF) and Zainabiyoun, have also been published; these are militant groups accused of participating in the suppression of the Iranian people by the Islamic Republic. In recent days, reports emerged from across Tehran in which citizens said they had seen armed members of the Fatemiyoun Brigade operating at urban checkpoints. The Fatemiyoun Brigade, affiliated with the Quds Force, is composed of Afghan Shia militiamen and was originally formed to support Bashar al-Assad.
