Protesters chanted slogans in support of the Iranian leadership and against Israel and the United States, holding up pictures of several Iranian leaders killed since the outbreak of clashes with Israel, according to state television.
Participants also waved the flags of Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah, in a scene described by state television as "a Friday of solidarity and resistance from the Iranian nation across the country."
One of the protesters held a banner reading, "I sacrifice my life for the sake of the Leader," referring to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
In statements to an Anadolu Agency correspondent, Iranian teacher Fariba Golzar, one of the protesters on the campus of Tehran University , said : "We are not afraid of the bombs that Israel drops on our country. Targeting our leaders will not deter us from supporting the resistance."
Meanwhile, businessman Khosrow Miryaze added, "No matter what Israel does, the Iranian people are not afraid of Tel Aviv's rulers," according to the same source.
Since June 13, Israel, with US support, has been waging an aggression against Iran, targeting nuclear facilities, missile bases, military leaders, and nuclear scientists. Tehran responded by launching ballistic missiles and drones toward Israeli territory, in the largest direct confrontation between the two sides.
