Iranians Celebrate anniversary of the assault on the Embassy of the United States

Despite gestures of reconciliation with the West developed by the Iranian President, the moderate Hassan Rohani, elected in June, the mobilization of protesters was more significant than in previous years.

"I love my country. I'm Iranian. I will not allow any attacker put his feet on my country. We're not going to let that get in our country, "said one young demonstrator.

"With the slogan" Death to America "show that we are with the oppressed and who fought against the American foreign," said another.

In 1979, the invasion of the United States Embassy by Islamist students, who kept 52 Americans diplomats hostage for 444 days, led to the rupture of diplomatic relations between Tehran and Washington and the decades of hostility between the two countries.
