  • Iran's "sacrifice campaign" involves religious seminars, rallies, and military drills to mobilize the public for potential war.
  • Iranian authorities report that 32 million citizens have joined the "sacrifice system."
  • Revolutionary Guard members are reportedly training women in guerrilla warfare and drone operation.
  • The campaign suggests Iran is preparing for a potential conflict with the United States and regional nations.
  • The US is accelerating its readiness for possible significant military actions against Iran.
  • Dozens of anti-regime protesters were arrested in Mimeh, Isfahan province.

Iran has reportedly renewed and expanded a "sacrifice campaign," seemingly to mobilize its population for a potential war. Iranian media is covering religious seminars on the duty of sacrifice, alongside rallies and gatherings of women, clerics, and students, encouraged by local officials. The campaign also includes day-and-night drills with light weapons and first aid training.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Revolutionary Guard members are visiting kindergartens, displaying billboards teaching sniper rifle use, and training women in guerrilla warfare and drone operation. Iranian authorities claim 32 million Iranians have joined the "sacrifice system." The President has also stated he would be the first to sacrifice himself.

This mobilization appears to signal preparations for a potential renewal of conflict with the United States and regional powers. While the Houthis in Yemen are in direct confrontation with Saudi Arabia, Iran aims to maintain its influence in the Persian Gulf. The US is also accelerating its readiness, with operational plans recently finalized for the possibility of President Trump ordering significant military actions against Iran.

Meanwhile, protests against the regime continue within Iran. Dozens of demonstrators were arrested in Mimeh, Isfahan province, during a protest against the Islamic Republic, with chants calling for the resignation of "incompetent officials."
