The first snow of the season fell in Moscow, one of the world’s coldest capitals. While the snow depth reached 10 centimeters in some places, the city’s highways, rivers, and lakes froze as the air temperature dropped to minus 5 degrees Celsius. Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations warned the public not to park vehicles under balconies or billboards ahead of snowfall. The Moscow Municipality also warned residents to be cautious of frost and icing, as the city’s air temperature is expected to hover between -5 and 0 degrees for the next five days. Furthermore, the municipality stated that all security measures were implemented in the city and that salting was done to prevent icing on main and side roads.
Hundreds of thousands of Iranians took to the streets after Friday prayers to protest Israel’s recent attacks on the country. The largest gatherings occurred in the capital, Tehran, where demonstrators marched following prayers at Tehran University.
High-ranking officials, including Iran’s Constitutional Court head Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei and former IRGC commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, joined the protest. Participants waved Iranian, Palestinian, and resistance group flags, and trampled on Israeli and US flags laid on the ground.
Protesters held banners reading “Down with Israel”, “Down with the US”, and “The Zionist regime will be destroyed”, while chanting slogans such as “We stand behind our leader”, “Everyone who clashed with Khamenei will eventually be destroyed”, and “Our right to nuclear weapons”.
