Iranians organize demonstrations on National Day to protest against perceived Global Arrogance
Across Iran, citizens have initiated demonstrations nationwide to commemorate the National Day of the Fight against Global Arrogance, recognized domestically as National Student Day. During these rallies, participants voiced their opposition to the United States and Israel, condemning actions perceived as harmful in the West Asia region.
At 09:30 a.m. local time (0600 GMT), nationwide mass demonstrations commenced to mark the anniversary of the U.S. embassy takeover.
In Tehran, the Iranian capital, demonstrators convened outside the location of the former United States embassy, commonly referred to as the “Den of Espionage.”
On November 4, 1979, Iranian university students seized control of the United States Embassy in Tehran, occurring less than a year following the Islamic Revolution, which had overthrown the US-supported Pahlavi regime.
Subsequently, they released documents corroborating that the compound was actively involved in plotting and implementing strategies to topple the Islamic Republic.
The event has since become emblematic of resistance and a determined struggle against dominant powers, highlighting the vigilance of Iranian students in confronting threats from Washington.
In a recent gathering held on Saturday, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, issued a stern warning to the United States and Israel. Addressing a group of Iranian students, Khamenei asserted that both nations would undoubtedly face a “teeth-breaking” retaliation in response to their actions against Iran and its allies within the resistance front.
