Mass Support Turns Fundraising into a Congress of Resistance<\/h3>\n
August 11, 2026<\/strong> \u2013 Simay-e Azadi<\/a>\u2019s 30th Free Iran Telethon (originally August 7\u20139, 2026) was extended through August 10 by popular demand. The four days became a shared affirmation of the Iranian Resistance\u2019s 47-year struggle, financial and political independence, and the channel\u2019s role as an uncensored voice\u2014especially after the December 2025 uprising and regional tensions.<\/div>\n

Resistance Unit members and ordinary citizens made striking sacrifices: Setareh from Karaj donated her entire monthly salary (20 million tomans).<\/p>\n
