Shiraz on the 125th Night: Tears and Allegiance Renewed

On the one hundred twenty-fifth night (and some sources report the one hundred twenty-sixth night) of a series of popular gatherings known as "nights of power," popular groups in multiple cities across the country, including Mazandaran, Semnan, Central Province (Saveh Bolagh, Avaj, Shahreza), Gilan (Rudsar), Fars (Shiraz), Khuzestan, Alborz (Shahr-e Qods), and North Khorasan, held gatherings. According to their titles and descriptions, these gatherings have been presented as expressions of allegiance and solidarity with the supreme leader and the continuation of the people's presence on the "path of solidarity"; news coverage throughout the country has reported on these scattered events.

• Sources differ on the night number: ISNA, IRNA, and other sources refer to the "one hundred twenty-fifth night," while Mehr News, Khabar Online, and IRIB in some reports mention the "one hundred twenty-sixth night."
• Headlines using expressions such as "tears and renewed pledges," "creating epic moments," "the people rising up," and "commanding the field" specifically emphasize the emotional dimension and the signing of loyalty.
• Reports cover a wide range of geographic areas: from the northern ocean (Mazandaran and Gilan) to the south (Khuzestan and Fars) to the east (North Khorasan) and the country's center, demonstrating the geographic dispersion of these gatherings.
• Some sources (Mehr News and IRIB) use headlines specific to different cities, highlighting a list of cities such as Saveh Bolagh, Avaj, Shahreza, Rudsar, Shiraz, Shahr-e Qods, and Khuzestan.
• Repeated emphasis on "people's presence," "solidarity," and "pledge of allegiance to the supreme leader" in headlines indicates that the main message of coverage focuses on the participatory dimensions and political commitment of these gatherings.
• Video and photographs from North Khorasan have been specifically described by Defapress as "epic moments and commanding the field," indicating the use of heroic narratives.
• The absence of any critical questions, statistical details (number of participants), or conflicting accounts regarding these gatherings among the existing coverage is notable.
• All sources, including ISNA, IRNA, Mehr News, Khabar Online, IRIB, and Defapress, are under the ownership or oversight of state agencies and official institutions.. Coverage difference: All present (state) sources are identical in their basic narrative and agree on the positive and unifying nature of these gatherings; the only observable difference lies in the selection of cities covered and precision regarding the night number. No news source with a different, critical, or alternative viewpoint regarding these events is present in this set of existing coverage.
