Iran Lawmakers Chant ‘Death to America’ Live
What happened on the floor
During a session aired by state media, several Iranian lawmakers put on military-style uniforms and loudly chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” It was not subtle. Cameras caught the moment live, and the message was unmistakable: a show of defiance that was meant for both domestic and international audiences.Why the timing matters
The protest came as U.S. officials say they are engaged in talks or back-channel contacts with Iran. That makes the spectacle awkward for Tehran. On one hand, hardliners burnish their anti-West credentials.
On the other hand, those same leaders may be negotiating to ease pressure. The result is political theater that looks tough but could be aimed at shoring up internal support.
