Thousands gathered in Tehran on Thursday to commemorate one year since the assassination of longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, as Iranian officials vowed defiance against the U.S. and Israel.
A large crowd filled Imam Hossein Square in Tehran on Thursday to mark the first anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut last year.

Israel’s military campaign that followed killed over 4,000 people in Lebanon, including more than 300 children. Despite a truce, Israeli airstrikes continue to hit Hezbollah positions, which Israel says are used to store weapons.
