IRNA – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Sunday took part in the rally held in commemoration of the 39th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Tehran.


Zarif joined the millions of people in Azadi Street who, along with people in other parts of Iran, are marking the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.

The day of Imam Khomeini's return to Iran from exile (Feb 1, 1979) marks the beginning of the Ten-Day Dawn in ceremonies which culminate with the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution on February 11, 1979.

Iranian people toppled the US-backed Pahlavi regime 39 years ago, ending 2,500 years of absolute monarchy in the country.
