The meeting explained the various dimensions of this widespread social movement and its significant statistics.
Sasan Zare, spokesperson for the "Iranian Sacrifice" movement, pointed out at the beginning of the meeting that this movement emerged from within society and stated: "This movement was organized as a centralized movement under the title of "Iranian Sacrifice" following the synergy of a series of popular and spontaneous activities that had been formed after the start of the third imposed war in Iran." According to him, more than 31 million and 300 thousand people have registered in this movement so far; a statistic that, according to the organizers, includes more than 50 percent of the eligible population (12 to 70 years old) in Iran and in this respect, is considered a rare example in the world. Emphasizing the dual nature of this movement, Zare added: "On the surface, this movement is a broad social mobilization to declare public readiness in critical situations, but in deeper layers, it is a reflection of the religious beliefs and collective identity of Iranian society." According to the statistics provided, 65% of the registrants are men and 35% are women. Also, 60% of the participants are between the ages of 20 and 45, and about 50% have a university education.

The spokesperson for the “Iranian Sacrifice” campaign stated that this campaign has demonstrated the depth of Iranian national identity and, according to him, has presented a different image of Iranian society compared to the narratives put forward by the opposition.
