Iran marks 36th anniversary of the takeover of the US embassy

Iranians are holding massive rallies across the country to mark the 36th anniversary of the 1979 takeover of the US embassy in the capital, Tehran. Each year, demonstrators gather outside the building of the former US embassy, also known as the “Den of Espionage,” and chant slogans against the United States. People take to the streets in other cities across the country as well to mark the event. November 4, which falls on 13th day of the Iranian calendar month, Aban (October 23-November 21), is also known as the Student Day in Iran, marking National Day of Fight against Global Arrogance.
