Blast rocks Tehran as Israel targets Quds Day rallyAP, DUBAI, United Arab EmiratesA large explosion yesterday rocked an area of Iran’s capital where thousands were gathered for the annual state-organized Quds Day to support the Palestinians and call for Israel’s demise. Israel had earlier warned that it would target the area in central Tehran. Iranian women walk across posters depicting images of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the Quds Day rally in Tehran yesterday. Israel did not say what it was targeting, but Iranian leaders often attend the annual rallies. Iranian authorities say that more than 1,300 people have been killed there, and Israel has reported 12 deaths.
