Tehran, November 4 (RHC)-- Thousands of Iranian demonstrators have issued a statement at the end of rallies on the 40th anniversary of the former U.S. embassy takeover, branding Washington "deceitful" and "humanity's biggest enemy."
Students on Monday joined people from all backgrounds to express their opposition to America's policy of destabilizing other nations. Thousands of demonstrators gathered outside the former U.S. diplomatic mission and chanted slogans against both the United States and Israel.
The demonstration was dominated by chants of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel." Some of the protesters carried signs with Farsi inscriptions that stated "America on Decline" and "America will soon collapse."
They also named the current Persian year as the year of America's decline, referring to recent remarks by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei that the U.S. is on "decline" in terms of power and clout.
Iranian rallygoers also took aim at the Al Saud family for waging a war against the people of Yemen, killing thousands of Yemenis and putting millions of them in the throes of famine since 2015.
The demonstrators wrapped up the nationwide event by issuing a statement that doubled down on Iran's will to stand up to global arrogance. The statement called the takeover of the embassy a "genius" and "revolutionary" move that needed to be discussed in universities and schools to familiarize the youths with America's atrocities against Iran.
"We still view the declining and collapsing America as the number one enemy of the mankind," the statement noted, adding both the US and its European allies are "untrustworthy."
They also condemned the "child murdering" regime of Israel as well as the Al Saud regime for their attempts to sow division in the Islamic World. The demonstrators further reiterated their support for the people of Palestine in the face of Israel's ongoing occupation of their lands.
Different cities across the country are today the scene of public marches in remembrance of the 40th anniversary of the former US embassy's takeover by revolutionary students.
