Iran marks International al-Quds Day with millions in attendance

International Quds Day marches began Friday morning across the Islamic Republic of Iran, drawing large public participation under the slogan, "We remain true to our pledge, O' Al-Quds." Participants will march from mosques and main squares in cities and villages nationwide to the sites of Friday prayers. According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Tehran, "900 cities in Iran will witness Quds Day ceremonies." Rallies raised Palestinian flags and a model of al-Quds as people chanted, "Freedom for Palestine."
