Iranians Mark 1979 US Embassy Takeover Amid Tension

On the anniversary of the 1979 US Embassy takeover in Iran, thousands rally in Tehran, chanting anti-American and anti-Israeli slogans, and burning US and Israeli flags. The event underscores ongoing tensions, as Iran's supreme leader pledges no normalization with the West. The conflict, which saw Israeli airstrikes kill nearly 1,100 Iranians and leave 28 dead in Israel, has strained diplomatic ties and led to Iran cutting back cooperation with international nuclear inspectors. With UN sanctions reimposed, Iran faces tighter restrictions, deepening the standoff with the West as both sides prepare for a long, tense standoff. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story.
