The ceremony was held ahead of the Ten-Days of Dawn celebrations marking the anniversary of the victory of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.

A large number of Quranic programs, including Quran recitation sessions and Quranic exhibitions, are also planned to be held during the celebrations.

Every year, millions of Iranians across the country observe ten days of celebrations marking the anniversary of the victory of the revolution that put an end to the monarchy of the US-backed Pahlavi regime in the country.

The day of Imam Khomeini’s return to Iran marks the beginning of the Ten Days of Dawn, which culminates with the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution on February 10.

The Iranian nation toppled the US-backed Pahlavi regime 38 years ago, ending the 2,500 years of monarchic rule in the country.

The Islamic Revolution spearheaded by the late Imam Khomeini established a new political system based on Islamic values and democracy.
