Deadly Blast Rocks Iran Amid Pro-Government Rally

A deadly explosion shook Tehran, Iran, during a pro-government rally attended by top officials, including Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani. The blast occurred near a demonstration where large crowds waved banners reading 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel'. At least one person was killed in the attack, and rescue workers are aiding residents affected by the blast. The conflict has led to significant displacement and economic challenges in the region. Meanwhile, global powers are deeply involved, with Israel and Iran launching strikes across the Middle East. Oil prices remain unstable due to the war's impact on energy infrastructure.
