An Iranian-American journalist has been detained in Iran, as the U.S. ordered more bombers and warships to the Middle East amid rising tensions.
Authorities say an Iranian-American journalist who worked for a U.S.-funded broadcaster is believed to have been detained by Iran for months, according to a report. State Department officials acknowledged to the Associated Press that Reza Valizadeh has been imprisoned by the Iranian regime.
Iran commemorated the anniversary of the embassy takeover on Sunday with thousands of demonstrators chanting, 'Death to America,' and, 'Death to Israel,' outside the former U.S. Embassy. Some burned U.S. and Israeli flags, the AP reported. They also carried images of killed top figures of Iran-backed terrorist groups including Lebanese Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Palestinian Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
Gen. Hossein Salami, head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, spoke in Tehran and reiterated Khamenei's pledge to respond to the U.S. military's presence in the Middle East and intensified engagements between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. 'The resistance front and Iran will equip itself with whatever necessary to confront and defeat the enemy,' Salami said, per the AP.
