People assembled in Tehran on Friday (June 20) for a rally against Israel, burning Israeli and American flags, displaying photographs of slain leaders, and chanting anti-Israel slogans.

"With our presence here today, we are proving that we are on the ground, we are here and we fear no one," said an unidentified protester. Referring to Israel, the protester added, "It is you whose people are hiding in shelters and are nowhere to be seen. We are here, and for as long as our leader gives the order, our lives and our blood are devoted to this land, this country, and the Islamic Republic of Iran."

Iran said on Friday it would not discuss the future of its nuclear programme while under attack by Israel, as Europe tried to coax Tehran back into negotiations and the United States considers whether to get involved in the conflict.

A week after it began attacking Iran, Israel's military said it had carried out new strikes on dozens of military targets overnight, including missile production sites and a research organisation involved in nuclear weapons development in Tehran.

Iran launched at least one new barrage of missiles early on Friday, striking near residential apartments, office buildings and industrial facilities in the southern city of Beersheba.
