In the center of Iran’s capital of Tehran, citizens hung banners reading “We stand with Israel” and other anti-regime messages on Thursday.

Citizens also displayed banners reading “Vahid is our voice,” a reference to Vahid Beheshti. Beheshti is an anti-regime activist who recently visited Israel and spoke in the Knesset.
