Large crowds in Tehran burn banners depicting Donald Trump and Israeli-linked figures during rallies marking the anniversary of the 1979 US embassy takeover, according to multiple outlets. Demonstrators also burn or display Trump-related posters and banners, with coverage describing the scenes as celebratory and angry at the United States and Israel.
Several reports link the protests to a recent political development in the US, saying the burning follows a major electoral setback for Donald Trump and Republicans in the US midterms. Some outlets specify the banner also includes or references other figures, including US politician J.D. Vance and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Others broaden the description beyond the burning itself, mentioning additional rally elements such as slogans and flag burnings.
Outlets differ mainly in which people and events they foreground—some focus on the banner contents featuring specific leaders, while others lead with the wider rally context around the embassy takeover anniversary and the US election results.
