TEHRAN - Tens of thousands of demonstrators packed the streets outside the former US embassy in Tehran in the biggest anti-US rally in years, a show of support for hard-line opponents of President Hassan Rouhani's outreach to Washington.
Crowds of Iranians shouted "death to America" as they marked the 34th anniversary of the takeover of the city's US embassy, which led to 52 Americans being held hostage for months.
Protesters waved anti-US banners, chanting "death to America" and "death to Israel", while burning US and Israeli flags.
Effigies of the US president, Barack Obama, his secretary of state John Kerry and the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, could be seen held aloft by protesters.
The protests were reported to be the biggest in years, with tens of thousands in attendance.
