A woman held a bright yellow poster above the crowd in central Tehran on Wednesday. It showed US President Donald Trump as a blood-stained bulldog on a leash, held by a horned, devil-like figure resembling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Beneath the drawing, in English and Persian, were the words "Serving the Devil!"Photo Credit: AFPIt was one of many such images at the annual anti-American rally outside the former US embassy. The rally came hours after US voters stripped Trump's Republicans of control of Congress, partly over the Iran war.Chants of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" echoed through the area.

Demonstrators waved Iranian flags and carried banners denouncing Washington and Israel.Some called for revenge for the former supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in the US-Israeli strikes that sparked the regional war in late February.Trump appeared on placards in several forms. One carried two identical prints of him behind bars, hands cuffed and chained, over the words "You will be punished" in English and Persian.
