According to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), the prayers at Tehran University saw a sea of worshippers, many coming from various parts of the capital to affirm their unwavering support for the Islamic Republic, its leadership, and the Iranian Armed Forces. 

The surrounding streets were lined with individuals eager to stand in unity, reflecting their deep frustration with what they see as a continued assault on the nation's sovereignty.

The march was not only a display of anger but also a declaration of enduring solidarity with the Iranian government. The crowd's chants also included "The blood in our veins is for our leader," underscoring the devotion to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and a message of unyielding loyalty to the nation's leadership in the face of foreign aggression.

As the march progressed through the streets, the demonstrators reiterated their condemnation of Israel’s actions, which they claim have led to the death of innocent civilians, particularly women and children. Their resolve was further solidified by claims of ongoing military victories by the Iranian Armed Forces, which have been engaged in conflict with Israel and its allies.

"This is not just a protest. This is a statement that no matter what happens, our unity and resistance against the Zionist regime will remain strong," said one of the participants, a Tehran resident.

The rally, which extended beyond Tehran, also saw large numbers of people gathering in cities across Iran. They celebrated the strength of the Iranian military and affirmed their commitment to the struggle, expressing confidence that the government and armed forces would continue to protect their land from external threats.

The scale of the demonstration reflects the deep national sentiments surrounding the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, and the Iranian government’s unyielding stance against Israel's policies. The country’s leaders have long called for resistance against Zionism, with these large-scale events serving as a reminder to the international community of Iran's position on the matter.

As the demonstrations continue to unfold, Iran's commitment to resisting perceived foreign interference remains as strong as ever, with millions of Iranians standing firm in their support for their nation's sovereignty and security.
