1. <p><a href="https://webaim.org/techniques/hypertext/link_text#alt_link" title="Opens in new tab" target="_blank">The alt text on a linked image is used to describe the link destination</a>. Links should be brief, clear and concise, as screen reader users often listen to the list of links on the page to find content of interest. Long alternative text inside a link often indicates that the image's text alternative is describing the image instead rather than the link.</p> This image's alt text is: <em>Iranians protest against the hardline Islamic regime in Iran and specifically the downing of flight PS752 as part of the &quot;Woman, Life, Freedom&quot; protests, January 2023.
