(New York Times) Thomas Erdbrink - Iran celebrated the 35th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution on Tuesday, and the state news media said millions had exuberantly participated. Wendy R. Sherman, the lead American negotiator in the nuclear talks, was singled out for particular denunciation, with many rally participants shouting, "Death to Sherman," the Iranian Students' News Agency reported. Some protesters also shouted, "Death to Obama!" and "Death to Kerry!" As the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps band played songs from the 1979 revolution, one cleric, Mohammad Moshabarati, 28, marched by, holding an Islamic flag. He said, "Our slogan is, 'Death to the U.S.,' and it will be so forever, no matter what President Rouhani agrees with the Americans."
