[Iranian public reacts with mixed feelings to ceasefire agreement: burning US and Israeli flags, questioning US intentions] (1) After the ceasefire agreement was announced early Wednesday morning local time, Iranians gathered on the streets of Tehran, many of whom expressed doubts about the agreement. (2) Video footage showed some people burning US and Israeli flags (a common practice at pro-government rallies in Iran), while others waved Iranian flags and held up photos of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and his late father, former leader Ayatollah Khamenei. (3) A woman at the scene said that the US has shown its true colors a hundred times, and that it chose to attack Iran twice when Iran came to the negotiating table; she questioned why the ceasefire was accepted, believing that the US might use it to "accumulate strength" and that the ceasefire was just to buy time for Israel.
