Tens of thousands of Iranians chanted "Down with America" and "Death to Israel" during annual pro-Palestinian rallies nationwide on Friday, as a top leader said the US would be making a "strategic mistake" if it pulled out of ongoing negotiations on the country's nuclear program.
The "Al-Quds Day" rallies took place as Iran and six world powers meet in Vienna to work out a deal to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for easing tens of billions of dollars in economic penalties on the Islamic Republic.
