"Tens of thousands of Iranian citizens gathered on Friday evening in Tehran to express national solidarity and denounce the ongoing attacks by the United States and Israel on the country. Footage shows crowds waving Iranian flags and images of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, while chanting slogans including “Never shall we be humiliated.” According to local media, streets and squares in several cities across the country also witnessed demonstrations in which citizens praised the armed forces and condemned what they described as criminal attacks on hospitals and schools by the US and Israel. Reports stated that the crowds called for a decisive military response to the ongoing attacks. The United States and Israel reportedly carried out attacks on Iran on Saturday morning, while Tehran announced that it was responding with strikes targeting Israel and American interests in the region, with reports of explosions in several Gulf countries. Iranian authorities have confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in a strike on February 28, following multiple rounds of talks between U.S. and Iranian officials."
