Tehran rallies hundreds of thousands of civilians to ‘sacrifice their lives for Iran’: ‘We have no fear’

Hundreds of thousands of Iranians flooded the streets of Tehran on Friday for a government-organized rally calling on civilians to join the military and prepare to “sacrifice their lives.”

It was the largest demonstration in the country since the United States and Israel attacked Iran in February.

Dubbed “Janfaday-e Iran,” or “ones who sacrifice their lives for Iran,” the rally was designed to project national unity as Tehran faces a worsening economy amid US sanctions and a naval blockade of Iranian ports.

But the spectacle was also a show of force for Iran.

Iranian state media said more than 300,000 people were on the streets Friday, and Gen. Hassan Hassanzadeh, Tehran’s guard chief, claimed over 600,000 people had already registered for the military-training campaign.

He said more than 1 million could ultimately participate.

The volunteers are expected to receive basic military training, including instruction with assault rifles, and would provide a new layer of security alongside Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its Basij militia, which has played a key factor in removing anti-government protests.

The head of the Basij, Hossien Taeb, declared in a speech that the volunteers will be ready for “full-fledged defense” and that similar rallies will take place in other Iranian cities.

Taeb said the new trainees will create a “nightmare” for Iran’s enemies.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, military commanders and other senior officials were in attendance at the rally.

Some demonstrators stomped on American and Israeli flags, while crowds chanted “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!”

“the new trainees will create a “nightmare”” Yeah, right. The Democrats in America are unethically supporting the war in Ukraine. Putin is loading up Iran with weapons. Democrats really are evil.

"Why are the rifles scotch taped ?"

To ensure the empty magazine is returned with the rifle? It might prevent the unfortunate event of erasing photo prop holding the rifle.

The Daily Bray:
Ephesians 5:1 (King James Version)
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

President Trump just signed an executive order to open up 140,000 square miles of federal land to hunters and fisherman across the country. Of that massive amount of lands which were going to waste he opened 1,500 square miles in Oregon. He has put the Sierra Club right in the crosshairs of everyone who loves fishing, hunting, and camping. Now the Sierra Club and the Enviro-terrorists have to fight this Executive Order and everyone who shops at Cabela’s can fire back.

He also signed an order to allow lead shot for bird hunters getting rid of the silly brass shot that just wounded birds rather than killing them. In addition, he got rid of the idiotic 10 mph boating speed limits around fishing grounds which was supposed to save the whales although like always there was no evidence it had any affect at all.

The even bigger news he was hinting at outdoors 2.0 coming soon which very likely will play into Bear Claw Acres. He tried to open federal lands to building when he first was elected but was fought tooth and nail by the fishing and hunting groups who did not want to give up their outdoor lands. They teamed with the Sierra Club and shut down the proposal. Now they have more than they ever had and can tell the hunters he has taken care of that and now you can buy land in these outdoor areas. You can fish and hunt from you back door like every American dreams.

If he were to release a thousand square miles in Oregon it is fifty times what F4O was proposing and would open up all types of resources and opportunities. He could release in the upper end of the McKenzie river for homesteading and replanting so young kids could have multi-generational income at affordable prices. He could also issue an emergency order to harvest timber to build houses affordably across the country and open mining and ranching. The opportunities are endless.

It would be easy to replicate the Bear Claw Acres formula setting up village after village of off grid farms and ranches. Once you get the Sierra club out of the equation which will happen when they say no to thousands of young kids who figure out the only thing standing between them and a home is the Democrat Socialist Party, they will know to vote them back to the Ash Heap of Histoir where they belong.

In the same way when is a brave Media talking head going to axe Gasbag Newsome why he has not declared California a national disaster over its gas and diesel prices. How can he sit by eating his Fois gras while his serfs are filling their cars with fuel nearly twice the price of Texas and Louisiana when he has more oil and refining than both those states per capita?

Everyone knows the answer, he does not care a bit about Californians suffering at the gas pump unless he can tie it to Trump for the midterms. It is not Trump who ran two refineries out of your state or shut down plentiful cheap oil from one of the largest finds in the nation, it was you pushing your Climate Change scam. How about you call Standard Oil and say you will take all your confiscatory taxes and regs off and let them fill your citizens’ tanks until the Iran and Ukraine wars are over and things get back to normal? And then you can return to your insane war on oil and your Choo Choo to Nowhere nobody wants to ride.

Come on Trump, sign Outdoors 2.0 and make Kotax and Gasbag pontificate why young people cannot have affordable homes through homesteading on worthless land. Explain to them how $10/gal is a good thing and should celebrate it like you do. Tell them the pioneering days of the Oregon Trail are over, and you must bow down to your overlords in Salem, Sacramento, and 50th story suites the Sierra Club occupy in San Fran, NYC, and DC who wear $500 shoes and $1500 suits, you know; Oligarchs.

Let’s have this battle and put the Democrat Communist Party on one side and President Trump and Christine Drazan on the other. If you want these hunters and fishermen to vote in large numbers this is the way to do it while exposing who cares about their high-priced gas, diesel, and housing. Let’s play those hands and right now it is very likely Trump is holding 4 Aces.

Pray for Bear Claw Acres
