Pinned Extranjeras milicias reportadas manejando puestos de control en Teherán 1. Foreign militia fighters are reportedly manning checkpoints in Tehran alongside Iranian security forces, according to a report by The Telegraph citing resident accounts and videos circulating on social media. 2. The report says members of Iraq’s Hashd al-Shaabi have been conducting vehicle searches in the capital and other major cities, with residents describing personnel who do not speak Persian and communicate primarily in Arabic. 3. «Right now, for several nights here, there are people at our neighborhood checkpoint who don’t speak Persian,» one Tehran resident said. «They wear Hashd al-Shaabi uniforms and only communicate with gestures and a few broken words.» 4. The Telegraph reported the fighters initially entered Iran in limited numbers during the final days of the war to provide humanitarian support, but have since taken on expanded roles including patrols and checkpoint enforcement. 5. Additional foreign fighters, including Afghan militias backed by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, have also reportedly been deployed, though Iranian state media has not acknowledged any security role for these forces.
