Description

Thousands of students took to the streets in Tehran on Tuesday to support of Palestine and Lebanon, as well as to denounce the Israeli army's attacks on Gaza and southern Lebanon.

The footage shows protesters chanting anti-American and anti-Israeli slogans, as well as raising Iranian, Palestinian, and Lebanese flags. There are also large paintings featuring images of former IRGC commander Qassem Soleimani and Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, among other political and military figures.

"[I'm here] to show my presence to the ones outside of Iran and those who are against the Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist [Ayatollah Khamenei], also those who are pro-the Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist," said Mohammad Hossein. "This is my voice, I want revenge, anything besides taking revenge will not calm down this crowd. We have come here not for the US to hear us but for the inside of the nation to hear that we want revenge," the man added.

"In my opinion, the Resistance axis, the nation of a country like Palestine really has nothing to lose. Their only option is fighting. No matter if they [Israel] kill how many people like martyr Nasrallah, in my opinion, it will have no effect. Now it's high time we continued his path," stated Seyyed Reza, another protestor.

The Israeli shelling targeting the southern suburbs of Beirut on Friday assassinated Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei mourned Nasrallah, denouncing Israel, stating: "It knows that it cannot do much harm to Hezbollah's strong construction and that all resistance forces in the region are on Hezbollah's side."

Tehran has said the attack is in response to ‘the massacres in Lebanon and Gaza’ and retaliation for the assassinations of Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, Hamas political chief Ismael Haniyeh, and IRGC advisor in Lebanon Abbas Nilforoushan. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had ‘targeted important military and security targets in the heart of the occupied territories by firing dozens of ballistic missiles’.

On September 23, the IDF launched 'Operation Northern Arrows' with airstrikes against Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, the Bekaa Valley and Beirut's southern suburbs. This was followed by what Israel says is a 'limited and targeted' ground incursion into Lebanon on Tuesday morning.
