A state-organised military-style march in downtown Tehran drew hundreds of thousands, AP reported; state TV estimated more than 300,000 and the Guard's Tehran chief said over 600,000 had registered for training. Basij head Hossein Taeb said volunteers would be ready for full-fledged defence and that rallies would follow in other cities. The rally is part of a mass mobilisation campaign launched as the US weighs renewed strikes.
