Thousands of anti-American demonstrators gathered in Tehran on Wednesday, November 4, to protest the Republican Party's significant defeat in the US midterm elections. The protests, held near the former US embassy, were fueled by public discontent over the war with Iran, rising fuel prices, and the cost of living. During the annual rally commemorating the 1979 US embassy seizure, protesters burned effigies and posters of US President Donald Trump, Vice President D. Vance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. Some caricatures depicted Trump as a bloody bulldog held by a Netanyahu-like figure. The demonstrators also called for revenge for the recent death of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran's current Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, issued a statement criticizing Washington as the "Great Satan" and Israel as the "Little Satan." He expressed hope for the weakening of US dominance and warned that any new US military action would trigger a larger Middle East conflict, exposing American military inferiority. The protests occurred hours after Trump's Republican party lost control of Congress.
