We're ready to die for Palestine: Iranian students

TEHRAN (Press TV) -- Over 20,000 Iranian university students have pledged to fully support the Palestinian people, who are currently facing merciless Israeli attacks.

The students have registered their names on a website to announce they are ready to be sent to the Gaza Strip and are prepared to be martyred there, the Fars news agency reported.

The huge number of university students registered their names on the website on its first day online and the figure is expected to rise.

The students plan to hold gatherings in Tehran and other Iranian cities next week.

Meanwhile, Iranian university students stormed a British embassy compound in Tehran on Tuesday to protest against the British support for the Israeli attacks on Gaza.

The students have also set a 48-hour deadline for the Egyptian government to put an end to its support for the Israeli blockade of Gaza.

They warned that if Cairo refuses to do so, the interests section will be closed.

However, the Iranian government has made no statement on the students' demands.
