Defiant crowds rally in Tehran
Crowds gathered in Tehran on Wednesday night, waving flags and chanting “down with Israel” during a rally in support of the country’s leadership.
Music and singing filled the streets as Iranian people waved phone lights, pumped their fists in the air and held pictures of Iran’s former Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed during a joint US-Israeli airstrike in February.
Rahmatpour, and others at the event, questioned whether US President Donald Trump would launch further attacks on Iran, amid ongoing negotiations between the two countries.
“In my opinion, Trump doesn’t have the guts (to attack again), because we are a superpower ourselves and I don’t think they will attack us anymore,” Rahmatpour said, according to Reuters.
“If they attack again, it’s foolishness again, so it depends, he (Trump) is capable of such a thing (to attack again) on whether they can do such a thing, but I hope not.”
