Quick Summary

On November 4, 2026, Iranians burned a large poster of U.S. President Donald Trump and his allies, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at Tehran's Enghelab square to protest the deaths caused by a war initiated by Trump and Netanyahu in February 2026. The event came after Democrats' victory in the midterm elections, which Trump admitted was partly due to this conflict. Crowds demanded revenge for the death of Ayatollah Khamenei and chanted slogans like "We will kill Trump," while waving red flags and listening to patriotic songs.

Story summary

On November 5, 2026, flames engulfed a large red banner depicting Donald Trump, JD Vance, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Steve Witkoff in Tehran's Enghelab Square during an anti-American protest. The rally commemorated the anniversary of the 1979 US embassy hostage crisis. Demonstrators chanted "Death to America" and burned US and Israeli flags, while some carried posters demanding revenge for the supposed death of Ayatollah Khamenei in a war initiated by Trump and Netanyahu earlier that year. The protest occurred after Republican losses in the U.S. midterm elections but participants expressed skepticism about its impact on Iran-U.S. relations.
