Event details
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced an expansion of its 'Janfada' ('Sacrificing Life') volunteer mobilization campaign, saying it plans to train 1,000 'national resistance' battalions, with new courses set to begin Tuesday.
Context
The scale-up of a mass volunteer-training program signals Tehran is preparing for a prolonged ground-defense posture rather than near-term de-escalation, a factor regional governments and oil markets track when pricing continued conflict risk.
