Iranians Rally in Support of Gaza and Commemorate 1979 US Embassy Takeover
Demonstrations have taken place across Iran to show support for Gaza and mark the 1979 takeover of the US embassy in Tehran. Protesters expressed their denouncement of the United States and Israel, with chants of "death to America" and "death to Israel." The takeover of the US embassy lasted 444 days and is now seen as a representation of a "den of spies." Iranian officials have called for an end to Israeli bombings in Gaza and warned of potential retaliation from the "resistance axis" in the region.
