Tehran Protests 'US-Israel Sedition' on 'Al-Quds Day' (PHOTOS, VIDEOS)

Thousands of people took to the streets of numerous Iranian cities to support the Palestinian state and oppose the Israeli occupation, as well condemn the violence that occurred during the Great March of Return and the US move to relocate its embassy to the disputed city of Jerusalem (al-Quds in Arabic).

Mass anti-Israeli demonstrations annually take place in Tehran and other Iranian cities on Quds Day, which is dedicated to the support of the Palestinian people and held on the last Friday of Ramadan. This year's rallies are aimed at opposing the violence that erupted as a result of the clashes between the Israeli Defense Forces and the Palestinian protesters along the Gaza Strip border.

We could be more destructive to the Zionists than they are, but that's not our way.
