Hard-liners in Iran have unveiled two new "Death to America" songs at the
former U.S. Embassy in Tehran, hoping to keep anger high ahead of nuclear
talks with Western powers.
They performed the songs Saturday ahead of a planned massive protest Monday
to mark the anniversary of the U.S. Embassy takeover in 1979.
The anniversary this year is drawing greater attention due to hard-line
opposition to moderate President Hassan Rouhani's outreach to the West as
talks over the country's contested nuclear program continue. Hard-liners
also criticized Rouhani's historic telephone conversation with U.S.
President Barack Obama in September, a gesture aimed at ending three decades
of estrangement between the two countries.
Authorities pulled down dozens of anti-U.S. banners and posters around
Tehran last week. |
