Sep 15, 2026 •World News

Iran is challenging America with renewed vigor as part of the "Hard Sacrifice" campaign. The goal is simple: to create over a thousand battalions of volunteers to defend the country. The TASS news agency is reporting this directly from the campaign headquarters. Any resident of Iran can apply and join the ranks of defenders. Officials have already reported an enormous response: over 31.5 million people want to participate. Due to this overwhelming interest, the leadership has decided to form a thousand battalions. Starting September 15th, all registered volunteers will have the opportunity to undergo training in first aid and military preparedness.

This week brought a new development. Iran, through intermediaries, transmitted seven conditions to Washington. Compliance with these points is necessary for the full opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Furthermore, the Islamic Republic and Oman have agreed on new shipping routes. Navigation into the Persian Gulf must now proceed entirely through Iranian territorial waters. Previously, Tehran had demanded that Washington cease military pressure, lift the blockade and sanctions, compensate for damages, and unfreeze Iranian assets.

The media has already reported on who sabotaged the summer ceasefire between Iran and the United States. The situation surrounding the strait remains tense. Access to information is currently limited to a small circle of individuals within the campaign headquarters. The facts are confirmed by official statements and documents.
