Janfada-e-Iran parade in Tehran draws 313,000 participants

A parade titled "Sacrifice for Iran" (Janfada-e-Iran) commenced early on Friday morning in Tehran with the participation of 313,000 people, according to Mehr News. The event was described as a show of support by participants who stated their readiness to sacrifice their lives for the Islamic Establishment in Iran in the face of what the report called US and Zionist regime aggression.

Sasan Zare, spokesperson for the Jan-Fada campaign's Headquarters, said that 31 million people have joined the campaign. "The registration of 31 million individuals in the Jan-Fada campaign clearly demonstrated that the people are the main pillar of national security," Zare said. He added that "declaring readiness to form a 30-million-man army is unprecedented in history," and emphasized that the large public turnout has resonated significantly both domestically and internationally.

During the parade in Tehran, a missiles unit displayed some of Iran's missile capabilities, the report said. The article noted that it was being updated as further details emerged.

The event took place against the backdrop of ongoing tensions involving the United States and Israel, which Iranian officials have repeatedly cited in public statements. The Jan-Fada campaign, whose name translates to "sacrifice for Iran," has been presented by its organizers as a voluntary registration drive through which citizens express willingness to defend the country.

According to Mehr News, the parade and the campaign's registration figures were highlighted by organizers as evidence of public support for the Islamic Establishment. The report did not provide further details on the duration of the parade, the specific locations within Tehran where it took place, or any additional statements from officials.
