Hundreds of thousands turned out in Tehran on Friday to mark the 32nd anniversary of Iran’s Islamic Revolution in a rally the clerical establishment billed as a chance to show solidarity with “Islamic” protesters in Egypt. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that a new Middle East is being created which would be free of the United States and Israel, as he backed the Arab uprisings but warned Egyptians to be watchful of America’s “friendly face.”
