Thousands of Iranians rallied in Tehran on Tuesday to mark 46 years since the 1979 takeover of the US embassy, chanting anti-American slogans and condemning Washington and Tel Aviv.

Participants gathered outside the former embassy building, chanting slogans and carrying photos of military commanders killed in recent strikes.
