Iran politicians set fire to US flag in parliament
Iranian MPs have set fire to a US flag and chanted “death to America” during a session of parliament, following Donald Trump‘s decision to pull out of the country’s nuclear deal.
The Independent reported, that politicians held the impromptu demonstration inside parliament on Wednesday, the day after Mr Trump announced his decision to withdraw from the deal and impose new economic sanctions on Iran. They also burned a piece of paper representing the nuclear deal.
Iran’s parliament speaker was among those officials in Tehran who said the deal could still be saved. Ali Larijani told MPs the White House’s decision was a “diplomatic show” that would only serve to isolate the US.
