Iranians across the country have held nationwide rallies to mark the National Day of Confrontation with Global Arrogance on November 3.

Thousands of school and university students as well as the school staff attended the rally ending in front of the former US embassy in downtown Tehran, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

Although known as the National Pupils Day, named after the students’ role in takeover of the former US embassy in 1979, people from all walks of life joined the massive march.

The participants, waving national flag of Iran and the flags of resistance movements, chanted slogans “Down with USA” and “Down with Israel”.

The demonstrators also voiced their support for the resistance front and the civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip and Lebanon suffering Israeli atrocities.

In different cities, people held rallies in the main squares calling for a “hard response” to the latest Israeli aggression against Iran.
