Iranians mark anniversary of Islamic Revolution with nationwide rallies

11 Feb 2018 - 11:45


Press TV - Millions of Iranians are taking to the streets nationwide today to mark the 39th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution�in 1979.�

People from all walks of life rally in different cities and towns across Iran each year to celebrate the nation�s victory that put an end to the monarchical rule of the US-backed Pahlavi regime.

Each year on the 22nd of the month of Bahman on the Persian calendar, Iranians turn out to renew their allegiance�to the Islamic establishment and Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic.

This year�s rallies come amid US President Donald Trump's hostile policies on Iran, ranging from his warning that he might ultimately �terminate� the 2015 nuclear deal to his meddlesome stance on some scattered riots in Iran recently.
