Iranians raise Pakistani flags at massive Tehran rally to honor public support

TEHRAN: A huge Iranian crowd gathered at Valiasar Square in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran overnight, where they zealously thanked the people of Pakistan for their support in these hard times.

Despite bomb threats, and unlike the Israeli occupiers who hid in bunkers, Iranians flooded the streets, raising flags and banners.

Women attended in greater numbers, chanting strong slogans against the United States and Israeli aggression.

Among the banners that were the center of attraction at Valiasar Square were those in support of Pakistan, bearing the message, “The Iranians will never forget the love of the Pakistani people.”

People chanted the slogan “Pakistan Shukria” while raising Iranian and Pakistani flags together.

The Pakistani diaspora, comprising a large number of students in universities and the Hawza e Ilmia, also held rallies in support of Iran, raising slogans that they will never leave the Islamic Republic behind.

This display of public solidarity underlines the deep-rooted diplomatic, cultural, and brotherly ties between Islamabad and Tehran.

Pakistan has consistently maintained a strong stance against regional aggression, offering persistent diplomatic and moral support to its neighbor during critical geopolitical shifts.

The large rally occurs amid escalating regional conflict following US-Israeli aggression. This intensified on February 28, when the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and his family members, along with IRGC commanders, were martyred.

In response to those strikes, Iranian armed forces have continued to conduct nearly daily drone and missile operations targeting Israeli-occupied territories and US military assets across the region.

This public solidarity echoes recent sentiments from the newly appointed Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hussain Khamenei. During his Nawruz address, he praised Pakistan as a “great country” and emphasized his commitment to a strong economy and resilient relationships with neighboring allies.

Khamenei noted that he shares the deep affection his martyred predecessor held for the nation, recalling how the late leader prayed for Pakistan during devastating floods. “Our affection for Pakistan is well-known,” he stated, adding that he never hesitates to express this love at different gatherings.
