Thousands of people in cities across Iran took to the streets to participate in traditional marches marking International Al-Quds Day — a day dedicated to solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Al-Quds Day is observed every year on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan. It was established in 1979 by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the first religious leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The name “Al-Quds” comes from the Arabic name for Jerusalem.
The event symbolizes support for the Palestinian struggle for independence and is held in many cities across the country. Participants carry Iranian and Palestinian flags, chant slogans against the United States and Israel, and express solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Senior Iranian officials also took part in the demonstrations, including the president, the foreign minister, and other government representatives.
This year’s events are taking place against the backdrop of growing regional tensions and ongoing confrontation between Iran, the United States, and Israel.
