Iran Marks Revolution with "Death to America" Chants
(NBC News) Ali Arouzi - If you thought anti-American sentiment in Iran had waned after the nuclear deal and the lifting of sanctions, you could be wrong. Tens of thousands of Iranians marched in Tehran's Azadi Square Thursday, chanting "Death to America and Israel" and waving anti-Western placards on the 37th anniversary of the country's 1979 Islamic revolution. President Hassan Rouhani gave an address, saying that Iranians will "never yield" to outside pressure. "Our nuclear victory showed to the world that Iranians are capable of winning any battle, including diplomatic battles."
