Iranians rallied in Tehran and other cities on Tuesday night to thank the country’s armed forces for valiantly fighting off the Israeli and American aggression and forcing them to unilaterally declare a ceasefire after 12 days of imposed war.
A large crowd of people gathered in Enqelab Square of Tehran, expressing gratitude for the efforts of the armed forces in confronting and responding to the Israeli and US aggression on Iran’s soil.
The demonstrators—including men, women, and children from all walks of life—raised the Iranian flag, held portraits of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and martyrs, and carried handwritten signs such as “We will stand firm till the end”.
“America is complicit in all the crimes of the Zionist regime,” “No to imposed peace, yes to lasting peace,” and “Labbayk Ya Khamenei”, read the placards.
The demonstrators also chanted “No compromise, no surrender, battle with America,” “Death to America,” and “Death to child-killing Israel,” reaffirming their support for the armed forces and emphasizing the country’s national unity under the Leader of the Islamic Revolution.
Those present in the rally also chanted slogans to thank the forces of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Basij, and the security forces.
At a rally in Tehran, various groups, including students, university professors, and social activists, underscored national unity and vigilance against future conspiracies.
Rallies in other Iranian cities
In Karaj, simultaneous with nationwide rallies, people gathered to thank the defensive actions of Iran’s armed forces and express their outrage and disgust toward the US and the Israeli regime.
They also demanded swift and immediate trial of the mercenaries and traitors to the Islamic establishment, calling on the judiciary to deliver the harshest punishments to treasonous elements.
In Qazvin, Arak, Kermanshah, Khorramabad, Sari and other cities, some of which had come under Israeli aggression over the past couple of weeks, people converged in large numbers to condemn the aggression and show firm solidarity with the armed forces over their 'Tidings of Victory' operation and retaliatory attacks on Israel.
The 'Tidings of Victory' was Iran's retaliatory missile strike targeting the sprawling American military base in Qatar a day after American bombers attacked nuclear energy facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan.
The American assault came more than a week after the Israeli regime launched an unprovoked and unlawful aggression against the Islamic Republic, assassinating several top-ranking military commanders, scientists and ordinary civilians.
In response, Iranian armed forces targeted numerous strategic Israeli military, intelligence and industrial centers in the occupied territories.
The Israeli regime was forced to halt its 12-day aggression against Iran after coming under waves of retaliatory operations by the Iranian armed forces.
US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire late Monday, with a senior Israeli reserve general admitting that Iran’s powerful retaliations had imposed its timing.
