It's April 4th. Welcome to Sinny News today, powered by AI. Iran's regime is now arming kids as young as 12 to fight in this escalating war, straight out of Tehran reports and human rights alerts. They're short on troops after hits from Israel and America, so they push recruitment into the Beseese paramilitary wing for patrols, checkpoints, and intel work. Elderly folks are grabbing guns too, as forces wear thin. When is the international review photos and videos showing these young ones with assault rifles at rallies and stops? Human rights watch calls it a straight up war crime for anyone under 15. State media blasted the call for volunteers, and the parliamentary speaker claimed seven million stepped up in just one week. Folks inside Tehran are straight terrified, especially with President Trump's April 7th deadline to cut a deal, or he'll wipe out power plants. Oil and water systems. Residents worry about blackouts, no water, fuel shortages, and worse misery on top of

Anti-regime voices hope the war would topple the rulers after nearly 50 years, but now exhaustion rules, food lines, job losses, constant strikes, shaking homes.

Iranians across views say invading soil would backfire, rallying everyone against it, as stress hit serial levels in the fight drags on without clear.
