Rallies took place across the capital Tehran on Thursday, a day ahead of the 37th anniversary of the student take-over of the United States embassy. On November 4, 1979, students charged the embassy in protest against the US' refusal to hand over the deposed shah so that he could stand trial. They held 52 US hostages for 444 days.
High-ranking officials attended this year's rallies, including influential members of the Revolutionary Guards. As in previous years, some Iranians shounted anti-American chants and burned US flags.
