Iran’s President to Address Ceremony in Tehran Marking Anniversary of Islamic Revolution Victory
In cities like Tehran, which has been designated as a COVID-19 high-risk red zone, there will be a car and motorcycle rally in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
This is according to the head of the committee for organizing the programs marking the occasion.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Seyed Nezamoddin Mousavi said that at the end of the rally, a statement will be read out.
He said the participants in the rally will go to the grand Mosalla (prayer ground) for Friday prayers afterwards.
Iranian President Seyed Ebrahim Raeisi will then address a ceremony at the Mosalla, he noted.
Every year, millions of Iranians across the country observe ten days of celebrations marking the anniversary of the victory of the 1979 Islamic 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 (February 1 this year) marks the beginning of the Ten Day Fajr (dawn), which culminates with rallies on the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution on February 11.
The Iranian nation toppled the US-backed Pahlavi regime 43 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.
