300 Foreign Journalists to Cover Rallies Marking Iran’s Islamic Revolution Anniversary

IQNA – Rallies are planned to be held in cities and towns across Iran on Sunday, marking the 45th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.

According to the head of the central headquarters for commemorating the auspicious occasion, more than 7,300 Iranian reporters and 300 foreign journalists will cover the celebrations.

Heshmatollah Qanbari told reporters at a press conference in Tehran on Saturday that there will be rallies in 1,400 cities and towns as well as 35,000 villages.

The rally in Tehran will start at 9:30 and the main speaker will be President Ebrahim Raeisi, he added.

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 (Ten Days of 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 45 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.
