Anchor Fires AK-47 On Live TV As Iran Gives Weapon Training To Civilians

Iran seems to have started training its civilians about handling rifles amid escalating fears of imminent US-Israeli strikes following US President Donald Trump's renewed threats. Over the past few days, pictures and videos emerging from Tehran show the appearance of public gun kiosks, where civilians are being offered basic lessons in using weapons -- a sign of how the Iranian authorities are readying people for a possible ground invasion by US troops. Clippings from Iranian state television have drawn attention for broadcasting segments teaching viewers how to handle a rifle. In a viral clip, Hossein Hosseini, an anchor on the state-run Ofogh channel, fired his rifle into the studio ceiling during a live proceeding. He did this during a segment where he received a lesson on handling arms from a masked member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
