Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
Hundreds of thousands of Iranians took to the streets of Tehran on Friday in a massive government-organized display of defiance as they pledged their readiness to take up arms in the largest demonstration since the war began in February.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Tehran’s Revolutionary Guard chief, General Hassan Hassanzadeh, told the state broadcaster that more than 600,000 people had registered to participate, with more than 1 million expected to take part in the training.
The new head of the Basij, Hossein Taeb, declared in a speech as the rally began that the volunteers would be ready for “full-fledged defence” and similar rallies would take place in other cities soon.
The new trainees would make a “nightmare” for Iran’s enemies, Taeb added, as President Masoud Pezeshkian, military commanders and other senior officials watched the march.
“I am here to tell [US President Donald] Trump that we Iranians have no fear about his threats against our homeland,” said Marzieh Afaghi, 24, who attended the rally with her toddler and husband.
