Multiple high-ranking leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the president, walked about the streets of Tehran for a pro-Palestinian rally before explosions erupted at the event.

President Masoud Pezeshkian, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani were among the half-dozen officials who poked their heads out for the al-Quds Day march on Friday before the festivities were interrupted by attacks.
