Iranians demonstrate outside former US Embassy
Thousands of Iranians burned flags and chanted slogans against Israel and the US today in the largest demonstration in years outside the former US Embassy in Tehran, held as the new hard-line president has stepped up rhetoric against Israel.
More than 10,000 demonstrators, including Iran-Iraq war veterans and high school students, shouted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” in front of the former embassy compound, marking the 26th anniversary of the November 4, 1979 seizure of the embassy by student militants.
