Iran: Protesters swarm former US Embassy in Tehran

Tens of thousands of demonstrators are gathering outside the former US Embassy in Iran for the biggest anti-American rally in years as a show of support for hard-line opponents of President Hassan Rohani's historic outreach to Washington.

 

Such protests occur every year outside the former embassy compound to mark the anniversary of its 1979 takeover following the Islamic Revolution. A total of 52 hostages were held 444 days. (AP)
