Thousands of women and young girls participated in the "Daughters Devoted to Iran" rally in Tehran, chanting anti-US and anti-Israel slogans amid a ceasefire between the US and Iran. The event coincided with Iran's "Girls Day" and the birth anniversary of the Prophet's daughter. The pro-government demonstrations follow the reported killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei in US-Israeli strikes. Meanwhile, the US imposed sanctions on Iranian-aligned militia commanders in Iraq. Similar protests with visible female participation occurred across multiple Iranian cities amid ongoing tensions and diplomatic signals.
