'Down With USA': Thousands of Iranians Protest Killing of Top General

Thousands of people took to the streets of several cities in Iran on January 3 to protest against the death of the highly influential military leader Qassem Soleimani, in a US drone strike in Baghdad.

Video here, shot in Mashhad, shows protesters carrying signs saying “Down With USA” and “Down With Israel”.

In a statement confirming Soleimani’s death, the Pentagon said the strike “was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans.” Credit: @malih_toosi via Storyful
