Iran: Flames engulf banner depicting US and Israeli leaders
In Tehran, demonstrators commemorated the 1979 US embassy takeover by burning a banner featuring US and Israeli leaders. The protests coincided with a significant electoral defeat for Donald Trump. Participants displayed images of Trump, Netanyahu, and others, while chanting anti-American slogans. Despite the recent Democratic victories in the US midterms, some protesters expressed skepticism about any change in US policy towards Iran. The event marks the anniversary of the hostage crisis that lasted 444 days, during which 52 Americans were held captive.
