Veiled Iranian women carry placards and a scale model of an Iran-made ballistic missile under a banner depicting portraits of the former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, Major General Qassem Soleimani, who is killed in an American airstrike at Baghdad International Airport, and other IRGC commanders who are killed in Israeli attacks amid the Iran-Israel 12-day war, as they participate in an anti-U.S. and anti-Israeli rally marking the anniversary of the U.S. embassy occupation, in downtown Tehran, Iran, on November 4, 2025. About 100 Muslim students seize the U.S. Embassy in Tehran on November 4, 1979, protesting American interference and demanding the Shah's extradition. Backed by Ayatollah Khomeini, the hostage crisis triggers Iran-U.S. diplomatic rupture, economic sanctions, and Prime Minister Bazargan's resignation.
