The anniversary of the 1979 takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran occurred this year on November 3. As it does every year, the Iranian regime marked the occasion by organizing mass demonstrations across the country. Photos from these demonstrations show participants burning the flags of the U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia and carrying images and effigies depicting the leaders of these countries as devils, pigs, Pinocchio, etc. Below is a sampling of photos.
For video of the demonstrations, see MEMRI TV Clip No. 5740 and MEMRI TV Clip No. 5741.
