Explosions Rock Tehran During Quds Day Protests Amid Ongoing Conflict
A series of large explosions shook Tehran during the Quds Day demonstrations, which saw thousands of Iranian loyalists take to the streets despite ongoing military tensions. The blasts occurred in a square filled with protesters, coinciding with threats from Israel to target the area amid rising regional escalations. Reports indicate that at least one person has died from the explosions, which occurred as Iranian officials, including Larijani, participated in the march. The situation intensified as crowds voiced defiance against US and Israeli actions, burning flags and chanting aggressive slogans. Live updates from state media confirm the ongoing turmoil as military maneuvers and airstrikes are reported across the city and beyond.
