This Friday will be the annual "Quds Day", and this article in
Iran's Farsnews is fairly typical of the articles appearing in Iranian media for the last couple of days:
The Iranian Armed Forces, in a statement, called on the entire Iranian nation and all Muslims across the world to stage a massive turnout in the International Quds Day rallies, and underlined that the Zionist regime's Nile to Euphrates dream will never come true.
"The Zionists' dream of creating a big Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates, changing the map of the region and forming a new Middle-East for the US will never be materialized," the statement said on Wednesday.
The statement invited different walks of life of the Iranian people as well as the freedom-seeking and right-seeking nations of the world to massively participate in the International Quds Day rallies.
The International Quds Day was started by the late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, in 1979 as a way of expressing solidarity with the Palestinians and underscoring importance of Quds to Muslims.
International Quds Day is an annual event opposing Israel's occupation of Baitul-Muqaddas.
Anti-Zionist rallies and demonstrations are held on the last Friday of Ramadan in Muslim and Arab countries around the world, and especially in Iran.
Actually, it is almost only celebrated in Iran, with some Shiites in Iraq and Pakistan joining in.
