Iranian police said on Tuesday any "illegal" rallies on Nov. 4 would be strongly confronted and only anti-U.S. protests were considered legal, the official IRNA news agency quoted a police statement as saying.

Wednesday marks the 30th anniversary of the takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran.

"We are announcing that only anti-American rallies in front of the former American embassy in Tehran are legal. Other gatherings or rallies on Wednesday are illegal and will be strongly confronted by the police," Tehran police said in a statement, IRNA reported.
