The drill, held under the code "Labbaik Ya Khamenei," showcases the capabilities of Zanjan's spontaneous popular forces in guarding the nation's soil. The event reflects the deep-rooted volunteer spirit among the people of Zanjan, who have historically played a prominent role in defending the country during times of war and crisis.
Participants gathered in "Janfada" battalions, with people from various backgrounds, including tribespeople, government employees, workers, students, and bazaar merchants, marching in organized ranks. The diverse composition of the participants underscores the broad popular support for the defense of national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The participants emphasized the necessity of comprehensive confrontation with global arrogance, led by the U.S., and reaffirmed their readiness to defend Iran under the leadership of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.
The "Janfadayan" (self-sacrificers) movement represents a key component of Iran's deterrence strategy, demonstrating that any foreign aggression will be met not only by the armed forces but also by millions of ordinary citizens prepared to defend their homeland.
