Iranian protesters, police clash on US Embassy takeover anniversary | csmonitor.com

“Thousands turned out in the capital’s Haft-e Tir square to commemorate the day in 1979 when students loyal to Iran’s supreme religious leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, took over the US Embassy. They shouted “Death to America!” – a show of support for Iran’s conservatively religious, and increasingly authoritarian regime. But another group also convened on the square, shouting a different message: “Death to dictators!”, according to the New York Times.”
