Iran prepares for the ten days of Muharram: High alert in rescue services

Ahead of the start of the ten days of mourning of the month of Muharram, the executive authority of the Red Crescent in Iran announced the raising of the alert level for 650 aid and emergency stations deployed across the country. The move is intended to ensure a rapid medical response for participants in the mass religious ceremonies.

According to reports by Iran's official news agency, IRNA, which is affiliated with the regime in Tehran, the organization's spokesman Mojtaba Khaledi stated that emergency teams will be stationed in central squares and at gathering points for mourning groups (Heyats). According to the report on the IRNA website, the goal is "to provide necessary assistance services in the event of any incident."

The parallel report on the channel حوادث فوری ⚠️, which deals with breaking news and emergency events, confirmed the extensive deployment of forces. This is a routine logistical step for the Iranian authorities at this time of year, when millions of believers visit city centers to mark the Shiite days of mourning.
