Rallies across Iran Mark Nat’l Day of Fight against Global Arrogance

IQNA – The annual rallies marking the National Day of Fight against Global Arrogance were held in cities across Iran on Sunday morning.

A large number of university and school students and other people from all walks of life attended the rallies, which took place with the motto “Bound for al-Quds”.

In Tehran, the demonstrators marched from the Palestine Square to the former US embassy, known as the Den of Espionage.

The participants expressed solidarity with the people of Palestine and Lebanon and paid tribute to the martyrs of the Islamic resistance front.

They carried photos of martyrs Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, Ismail Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar, General Qassem Soleimani and General Abbas Nilforoushan and chanted ‘Death to Israel’ and ‘Death to America’.

They also commended Iran’s response to the Israeli regime’s provocations, and described the country’s anti-Israeli Operation True Promise I and True Promise II as a demonstration of the Islamic Republic’s resolve to defend its rights and support the resistance front.

Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General was the keynote speaker at the event.

He elaborated on the US government’s crimes against people in different countries, including Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Japan, Afghanistan, describing Washington as the main source of crimes, massacres, occupations and violations of rights in the world.

On November 4, 1979, less than a year after the victory of the Islamic Revolution that toppled a US-backed monarchy, Iranian university students who called themselves “students following the line of (the late) Imam (Khomeini)’ seized the US embassy in Tehran, which had become a center of espionage and planning to overthrow the newly established Islamic system in Iran.

The students who seized the embassy later published documents proving that the compound was indeed engaged in plans and measures to overthrow the Islamic Republic.

Every year on the 13th day of the Iranian month of Aban (November 3 this year), the Iranian nation, especially students, hold rallies across the country to mark the National Day of Fighting Global Arrogance.
