Millions hit streets in Iran as Quds Day rallies are held across the country

Описание: Millions of people took to the streets across Iran on Friday to mark International Quds Day, expressing support for Palestinians and condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza, according to Iranian state media.

“We have all come, despite all the threats that exist, to deliver a firm punch to the mouth of the United States, Israel, and global arrogance, and to say that we will always stand behind Islam and our dear leader,” says one attendee.

Iranian officials, including President Masoud Pezeshkian and National Security Chief Ali Larijani, attended the rally even as explosions rang out near where the demonstration was being held in central Tehran.
