Cleric Lauds Massive Turnout in Rallies Marking Islamic Revolution Anniversary

TEHRAN (IQNA) – Tehran’s interim Friday prayers leader commended the Iranian nation for their massive participation in the rallies held Thursday in celebration of the 37th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

Addressing worshippers at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini (AS) Mosalla on Friday, Hojat-ol-Islam Kazem Sediqi said the people demonstrated the power of the Islamic Establishment and their resolve to combat the world arrogance.

He underlined that the presence of the nation in all scenes during the past 37 years is proof that the Iranian nation is steadfast on the path of the late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini (RA) and the martyrs.

The Thursday rallies were held in cities and towns across the country to commemorate the victory of the Islamic Revolution.

The 1979 Islamic Revolution, led by late Imam Khomeini, put an end to the monarchical rule of the US-backed Pahlavi regime.

Elsewhere in his sermon, Hojat-ol-Islam Sediqi underlined that Iranians will also show a massive turnout in the upcoming elections.

The parliamentary and Assembly of Experts elections will be held in Iran on February 26.
