The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has unveiled a plan to roll out a nationwide mobilisation drive, saying it intends to use the main squares in the capitals of Iran’s 31 provinces for a campaign it describes as Janfada, translated as "self‑sacrifice." The announcement frames the initiative as a coordinated effort to stage events or gatherings in major public spaces across the country.
The IRGC, a powerful branch of Iran’s security apparatus, characterised the Janfada drive as a mobilisation campaign. In its public statement the force indicated that the main municipal squares in each provincial capital would be the focal points for the programme, underscoring the explicit national reach of the initiative.
Details about the timing, the specific activities to be held at the gatherings, and the intended participants were not included in the IRGC’s announcement. The organisation did not immediately provide further information on how the events would be organised, who would be responsible for local coordination, or what security or logistical measures would be put in place.
Observers say the use of prominent public squares in provincial capitals would lend high visibility to any campaign, although the IRGC’s statement stopped short of outlining the scale or duration of planned events. The announcement nonetheless signals the corps’ intention to conduct a uniform presence across Iran’s administrative centres.
It is unclear how local authorities, municipal officials and other state bodies will be involved in implementing the IRGC’s plan. Further details are expected to emerge as the IRGC or other official channels provide updates on when and how the Janfada campaign will proceed.
