Iranian residents gather in front of the Iranian Embassy in Madrid, Spain, on the eve of "Red Wednesday" (known as Chaharshanbe Suri in Persian culture or linked to the Newroz celebrations in Kurdistan), an ancient festival marking the last Wednesday before the spring equinox and the New Year (Nowruz). Participants also call for an end to the theocratic regime of the Ayatollahs and express support for military actions involving the United States and Israel. (Photo by David Canales/NurPhoto)
