Teheran, November 7 (KCNA) -- Iranians on Friday marked the anniversary of the seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran by Iranian students 32 years ago.

Demonstrators gathered in front of the former U.S. embassy in Tehran, now referred to as the "Den of Espionage," carrying flags and banners and chanting slogans against the United States and Israel.

The demonstrators condemned the Western-imposed sanctions against Iran, saying that they still consider the United States as the country's main enemy.

Friday's gathering in front of the former U.S. embassy ended with the issue of a statement which called for resistance against the U.S. and Western policies against the Islamic Republic.

The statement also expressed support for the Occupy Wall Street movement in the United States and urged the United State to pull its forces completely out of Iraq.
