- On Friday, hundreds of thousands of Iranians rallied in Tehran, pledging readiness to take up arms in the largest demonstration since the United States and Israel attacked in February.
- Government organizers launched the "Janfaday-e Iran," or "Sacrifice for Iran," campaign to stress national unity as the economy worsens under a naval blockade and sanctions, reinforcing the Revolutionary Guard and Basij.

- Activists report a crackdown killed over 7,000 people and detained tens of thousands, contrasting official claims that more than 30 million Iranians volunteered for service following earlier economic protests.
