Iran Crisis: Amid the ongoing war between Iran and the joint forces of Israel and the US, huge rallies have been organised in Tehran in the recent days to extend support to the government and military. In its coverage, the Iranian media has highlighted the public's anger over the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the attacks on February 28. As per the local media, these protests have been participated in by the people across the ages and even by women.

Iran: Reasons Behind Rallies 

The protests have been held at a time when the US and Israel have emphasised on a regime change in the country, citing people's choice. Earlier last week, Iran also chose Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Ayatollah Khamenei, as its new Supreme Leader to temporarily shut down the regime change talks. Earlier last week, US President Donald Trump had stated that he must have a say in the appointment of the new supreme leader.

However, a video was portrayed at Valiasr Square, showing the transfer of power to Mojtaba Khamenei. Along with this, a rally was organised in Tehran to demonstrate the support for the new leader amid the crisis. "The main purpose behind the recent massive rallies in support of the government in Iran is to demonstrate its popularity and power," foreign affairs expert Robindra Sachdev was quoted as saying by Jagran.com.

"Through these rallies, the Iranian government wants to send a message to the world, especially the United States, that despite the fierce war and external pressure, the people of the country stand firmly with their leadership," he added.

While Iran has retaliated strongly against the attacks of Israel and the US, it is also taking several steps to control the internal crisis, especially due to the unemployment and high inflation rate. The war in the Middle East region entered its 12th day on Wednesday, with no signs of immediate relief.
