Thousands of Iranians on Sunday marked the 39th anniversary of the takeover and hostage crisis at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran that riveted America. With crippling sanctions on Iran's vital oil industry set to take effect Monday, Iran's already-damaged economy likely will suffer more, though politicians and protesters struck a defiant tone. "Today the Iranian nation will show that Mr. Trump is too small to be able to bring Iran to its knees," said Ali Larijani, Iran's parliament speaker. Iran is already in the grip of an economic crisis. Another demonstrator Sunday, Jamshid Zarei, waved a banner in English quoting Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei saying: "America can't do a damn thing."
