Iranians protest against Israel and the United States in Tehran

People in the Iranian capital, Tehran, demonstrated on Sunday against Israel and its sponsor, the United States. The protest came after Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned of a retaliatory response to last month’s Israeli attack.

The demonstration marked the 45th anniversary of the storming of the US embassy by Iranian students that sparked a hostage crisis.

Protesters carried photographs of leaders of the Islamic group Hamas and the Lebanon-based Shiite Muslim group Hezbollah, who were killed by the Israeli army.

They condemned Israel for attacking military facilities in Iran and criticized the United States for supporting Israeli operations.

A 60-year-old protester said Israel has engaged in U.S.-backed acts of aggression to threaten Iranians, and that Iran should retaliate severely.

Some protesters expressed concern that former US President Donald Trump could soon be re-elected. Trump took a hardline stance toward Iran while in office.

An 18-year-old man said many Iranians think Trump should never be president again.
