Thousands of Iranians marched on Friday to mark Quds Day, which will see demonstrations across the Mideast as the Trump administration tries to offer an Israeli-Palestinian peace plan.

Al-Quds is the Arabic name for Jerusalem, and Iran says the day is an occasion to express support for the Palestinians.

The annual protests, also being held in Iraq, Lebanon and elsewhere, come on the last Friday of the Muslim holy month of fasting, Ramadan.

Iran has marked Quds Day since the start of its 1979 Islamic Revolution by the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Iran does not recognize Israel and supports the terrorist groups Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah.

In Tehran, rallies began across the Iranian capital. They'll head to Tehran University, where the ceremony will end at Friday noontime prayers. Similar rallies took place in 950 cities and towns across the country.

On Wednesday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that the U.S. and its allies will fail to impose the Trump administration's so-called "deal of the century" on Palestinians.

Meanwhile, Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has described the peace plan as "shameful."
