a' protest in Iran

THOUSANDS of Iranians yesterday chanted "Death to America" outside the former US embassy which students stormed 27 years ago to the day, renewing Iran's defiance at a time when it faces possible sanctions for its nuclear work.

Iran sees itself as being victimised by an aggressive United States bent on controlling the Middle East and exacting revenge against Tehran's Islamic leaders for overthrowing the US-backed shah in 1979.

Washington wants the UN Security Council to toughen a draft resolution drawn up by Britain, France and Germany for sanctions against Iran over its nuclear programme. But Russia and China want the draft watered down. Iran says its atomic programme is peaceful.

"We are here to punch America in the mouth," said student Mohsen Abdullahi. "We want to tell the Americans and British they are nothing in the face of Iran's power."

Many high school students had been let out of classes to attend the demonstration.
