Nationwide demonstrations took place in Iran on Monday to condemn what they called "riots supported by foreign forces" and oppose a series of interference actions by the U.S. and Israel.

Tens of thousands of pro-government Iranians gathered in the center of Tehran, waving national flags and chanting slogans against the U.S. and Israel. They said that the U.S. and Israel used terrorists to create unrest in Iran with the aim of weakening and splitting Iran while seeking their own interests.

Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei described the gatherings as a stern warning to U.S. politicians to "halt their deceitful actions and stop relying on their traitorous hirelings."
