Pro-Iranian government supporters in Tehran celebrate U.S. ceasefire
Crowds poured into the streets of the Iranian capital, Tehran, after the ceasefire was announced.
Pro-government supporters gathered in the middle of the night at Revolution Square in the city centre, Iranian broadcaster SNN TV reported.
A reporter for the station, which is close to the paramilitary Basij militia, said U.S. President Donald Trump had bowed to Iran’s demands.
Government supporters celebrated the recently announced ceasefire with the United States.
“The fact that our position in the Strait of Hormuz has been strengthened means Iran’s victory,” one woman told the broadcaster.
“This is our retaliation against someone who claimed to have the largest and most advanced army in the world,” she added, in an apparent reference to Mr Trump.
