Iranians gather for anti-US demonstrations

  • 11 years ago
Crowds of Iranians shouted "death to America" as they rallied in Tehran to mark the 34th anniversary of the takeover of the city's US embassy, which led to 52 Americans being held hostage for months.

The main demonstration on Monday was held in front of the former US embassy complex in the centre of the city, with protesters waving anti-US banners, chanting "death to America" and "death to Israel", while burning US and Israeli flags.
