Countless Iranians rallied throughout the nation in assistance of Palestinians in Gaza, while marking the anniversary of the 1979 takeover of the United States embassy in Tehran. They condemned Washington’s assistance of Israel, which has actually been non-stop bombarding the Gaza Strip in its war versus Hamas.

Saturday’s rally, which was required by the state, came as the Israel-Hamas war entered its 4th week.

Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel on October 7 eliminated about 1,400 individuals, while more than 240 were hijacked. The Israeli vindictive operation has actually eliminated more than 9,400 Palestinians.

In Tehran, demonstrators marched from Palestine Square in the heart of the Iranian capital to the previous United States embassy a couple of kilometres away. Chants of “death to America” and “death to Israel” sounded out throughout the marches.

The November 4, 1979, takeover, which happened after the fall of Iran’s US-backed queen, lasted 444 days, and 52 Americans were cooped. The website of the United States embassy is now available to the general public as a representation of what Iranian authorities call a “den of spies”.

A declaration released on behalf of the protesters at the end of the ceremony required an “instant ceasefire” in Gaza and alerted the United States, United Kingdom and France that the crisis may broaden in the area.
