Trump Bashing and a Missile: Tehran Marks U.S. Embassy Takeover
Mr. Trump has called the nuclear deal negotiated by the Obama administration "an embarrassment,"
and Iran a "rogue nation." On Saturday, Iranians at the rally outside the former embassy, now maintained by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, had equally harsh words for Mr. Trump.

A ballistic missile and signs mocking President Trump were on display on the streets of Tehran on Saturday
as thousands of Iranians gathered for the anniversary of the 1979 seizure of the United States Embassy.
In an address to the crowd, Ali Shamkhani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council,
denounced American foreign policy, according to Iranian state-run news outlet Press TV.
Tensions have flared in recent weeks as President Trump disavowed the Iran nuclear deal and denounced the country’s influence in the Middle East.
