Each year, millions of people take to the streets across Iran on Bahman 22 (the date on the Persian calendar coinciding with the anniversary of the February 11, 1979 Islamic Revolution) to mark the victory of the Revolution and support the Islamic-Republic system.
The nationwide rallies are the manifestation of the Iranians’ allegiance to the ideals of Imam Khomeini and objectives of the Islamic Revolution.
The anniversary of the Islamic Revolution falls on February 10 this year on Friday.
The Islamic Revolution, under the leadership of Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic, put an end to the monarchical rule of the foreign-backed Pahlavi regime.
Imam Khomeini established a new political system based on Islamic values and democracy.
The victory of Islamic Revolution under Imam Khomeini put Iran on track of progress, revived rights of Muslim nations such as Palestinian people and strengthened the oppressed nations across the globe.
Imam Khomeini, the contemporary Muslim world leader, also revived divine values and spirituality at a sensitive juncture of history when the world had been plunged into moral and social decline.
