Saturday¡¯s show of support took place a day after Iran¡¯s foreign minister said a United Nations Security Council meeting called by the United States to discuss the protests had proved a ¡°blunder¡± by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.
State television showed rallies and marches in more than a dozen cities with demonstrators waving Iranian flags and chanting slogans including ¡°Death to America,¡± ¡°Death to Israel¡± and ¡°Death to Britain.¡±
