"Death to America!"

Even As Nuclear Talks Get Extension, Crowds Denounce America At Tehran Rally

By Ramin Mostaghim and Paul Richter, July, 10, 2015, LA Times

While U.S. and Iranian negotiators gave themselves more time Friday to reach a nuclear deal that could improve the countries’ ties, crowds of Iranians here chanted “Death to America,” just as they have for 36 years.

The occasion was Quds Day, an annual holiday observed since the Iranian revolution to express support for the Palestinians in their struggle with Israel. The United States, as well as Israel, has always been a target.

In Vienna, where negotiations have been dragging on for days, Iran, the U.S. and five other world powers agreed to extend their current, temporary nuclear deal through Monday, giving themselves more time to try to reach a breakthrough.

Earlier in the day, a crowd of about 50,000 people took part in the rally in sizzling heat at Tehran's Palestine Square, while others celebrated in hundreds of towns and cities across the country.
