Protesters marched from the venue of the Friday Prayers at Tehran University towards Palestine Square.
They chanted slogans such as “Bahraini Muslim is against tyranny,” “Down with US,” “Israel commits crime, US supports,” “Saudi [Arabia] commits crime, US supports.”
The move came following announced plans by Bahraini protesters to take to the streets after the Friday Prayers.
