Mass anti-Israel protests in Iran

Hundreds of thousands of people protested against Israel in Iran’s capital of Tehran after weekly prayers.

“This is the Friday of the Iranian nation’s solidarity and resistance across the country,” the news anchor said.

According to images on state television, they chanted slogans in support of their leaders. 

Some also chanted against the threats of US intervention in their country.

Footage showed protesters in Tehran holding up photographs of commanders killed since Israel’s attack on June 13, while others waved the flags of Iran, Palestine and Hezbollah.

“I will sacrifice my life for my leader,” read a protester’s banner, a reference to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
According to state television, protests also took place in Tabriz in northwestern Iran and Shiraz in the south.
