Thousands of Iranians demonstrate against Israel and the US

Tehran (Web Desk): On Saturday, thousands of people demonstrated around Iran in support of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and against Israel and the United States.

Demonstrators gathered in front of the former US embassy in Tehran screamed, “Down with USA” and “Down with Israel,” according to an AFP correspondent. In front of crowds waving flags, they set fire to an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu as well as the US and Israeli flags.

Women dressed in black waved signs of success with their hands covered in Palestinian flags. Since Hamas terrorists attacked Israel, a key friend of the United States, on October 7, tensions between Iran and the US have gotten worse. According to Israeli officials, the gunmen murdered nearly 1,400 people, largely civilians, and took more than 240 prisoners.

From that point forward, Israel has persistently barraged the Gaza Strip and sent in ground troops, with the wellbeing service in the Hamas-run Palestinian region saying 9,488 individuals have been killed, around 66% of them ladies and youngsters. Talking on Saturday, Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf hailed Hamas’ October 7 assault on Israel as “a defining moment” that “changed history”.

“Regardless of what the US and the Zionist system (Israel) do, the circumstance after the ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ activity won’t return” to the way things were, Ghalibaf added. The shows come on the Islamic republic’s “day of the battle against worldwide egotism”.

November 4 denotes the day Iranians went after the US consulate in Tehran in 1979 and the taking of 52 American negotiators as prisoners, which endured 444 days. Under nine months after the bringing down of Iran’s US-upheld shah, understudies overran the consulate to request Washington hand over the expelled ruler after he was confessed to an American medical clinic.

Tehran has named the Israeli siege of Gaza “massacre”, while assailing Washington for its solid help of Israel.
