Combat Antisemitism Movement CEO Sacha Roytman posted on X on Thursday:

“47 years ago yesterday, Iranian Islamists stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 66 Americans hostage. 52 were held for 444 days. Last night, Tehran marked the anniversary by burning a giant banner depicting Trump, Vance, Witkoff and Netanyahu, as crowds chanted ‘Death to America.’ And somehow, some American leaders are blaming Israel for their election defeat. In Israel, we don’t burn American flags or blame America for every problem we face. For 47 years, Iran’s regime has made its hatred of America crystal clear. How absurd that some in Washington seem more comfortable blaming America’s ally than confronting America’s enemy.”
