"Around seven million Iranians ready to take up arms," says Iranian Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

Axar.az reports, citing Tasnim, Ghalibaf stated that, in a national campaign lasting less than a week, around 7 million Iranians have declared their readiness to take up arms, stand against the enemy, and defend their country.

“I state clearly and explicitly: we do not just talk about defending our homeland, we shed blood for it. We have done this before, and we are ready to do it again. If anyone looks at our motherland with evil intent, you are facing our entire families, all of us.”
