Iran Holds Nationwide ‘Death to America’ Parades

(WFB) Tens of thousands of Iranians reportedly took to the streets on Tuesday to celebrate the 1979 overthrow of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran by burning the U.S. flag and chanting “Death to America.”

The multi-city rallies were held on the 35th anniversary of the hostage crisis, in which more than 50 Americans were captured by hardline Iranian protestors, and were meant to showcase Iran’s ongoing hostility to the United States, according to regional reports.

Dubbed the National Day of Campaign Against Global Arrogance, Iranians from across the nation could be heard chanting in the streets, “Death to U.S.” and burning both American and Israeli flags, according to Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency and other outlets.
