Imam Khomeini confronted colonial powers and global arrogance

On November4, 1979, and in less than a year after the victory of the Islamic Revolution that toppled a US-backed monarchy, Iranian university 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. The special occasion of 13th of Aban or 4th November is marked in Iran to reject all colonial policies and any type of dominance. On the day, students appeal the international community to observe the rule of mutual respect while maintaining relations with other nations. This occasion is considered as a focal and historic point in the victory and history of the Islamic Revolution. Imam Khomeini the founder of the Islamic Republic used to insist on the significance of establishing cordial ties with all nations to prevent their own governments from exercising colonial policies against other countries.  Unfortunately, some colonial powers who were hostile towards the newly established Islamic Republic did not show enough respect and were confronted by the Iranian nation. Iranian nation was opposed to any type of dominance as they had overthrown the tyrant and cruel of Shah Regime due to his dictatorial practices and actions. Since the Islamic Republic system had been established on the social and moral values and in accordance with the desires of the masses, it declared principle of mutual respect for bilateral ties with other states and countries. Islamic Republic system has brought prosperity, independence and freedoms to the Iranian nation. Given the above-mentioned factors, Iranian nation opposed aggressive policies of colonial powers and their policies in the region and declared support for the rights of nations. The day marks as the symbol of Iranian nation's campaign against the Global Arrogance.
