(Worthy News) – The main prayer service in the Iranian capital has been interrupted by repeated chants of “Death to America” — despite this week’s landmark nuclear deal with world powers that was welcomed by authorities in Tehran, the Associated Press reported.
The chanting by several hundred hard-liners came as conservative cleric Mohammad Ali Movahedi Kermani was leading the Friday prayers at the Tehran University campus.
He praised Iranian nuclear negotiators for their efforts in concluding the nuclear deal and criticized the United States for its tough sanctions on Iran. [ Source ]
