Rally-goers cheered as American and Israeli flags were burned on the street, while a crowd marched with anti-U.S. banners alongside Iranian flags. Many also carried images of the late General Qasem Soleimani, who was assassinated by a U.S. drone strike in 2020.

Speaking at the event, Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander General Hossein Salami described the U.S. and Israel as acting like "collapsing regimes" in regards to the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon.

On Saturday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said the U.S. and Israel will "undoubtedly receive a crushing response" for what they do against his country, state media reported.

It came as Axios reported that the U.S. has warned Iran against launching another attack on Israel, saying Washington will not be able to restrain Israel if it attacks again, citing a U.S. official and a former Israeli official.

Axios previously reported that Israeli intelligence suggests Iran is preparing to attack Israel from Iraqi territory in the coming days, possibly before the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 5.
