During the protest, numerous participants chanted slogans such as "Death to America, death to Israel, death to those who compromise!", showing the rejection by the most radical sectors.

Despite organizers' attempts to calm the crowd at certain moments, the chants continued with intensity. The protesters also engaged in symbolic acts such as burning American and Israeli flags in the middle of the street, increasing the political charge of the event.

This episode highlights the persistent anger among the most uncompromising groups, who for weeks had been preparing for what many considered a possible direct confrontation with the United States. Far from appeasing the spirits of these sectors, the ceasefire has generated frustration among those who were expecting a greater escalation.

The situation reflects the complexity of the political climate in Iran and anticipates possible new mobilizations in a regional context still marked by uncertainty.
