In their millions, Iranians have filled the streets countrywide to relive the day 38 years ago when the nation\u2019s hard-fought Islamic Revolution against the former US-backed regime became victorious.
\n\u00a0In Tehran, demonstrators will congregate at the Azadi Square, Tehran\u2019s main square and the site of major national rallies over the past four decades.
\n\u00a0In addition to the annual theme of renewing support for the revolution and Islamic establishment, this year ralliers are also due to express solidarity with the regional nations\u2019 revolution against their tyrant rulers as well as their campaign against Takfiri terrorism.
\n\u00a0Yet, what has made this year\u2019s rallies even more important is the call by the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, on people to give a crushing response to the recent threats of US President Donald Trump by staging massive rallies even larger than ever.
\n\u00a0
\nTrump claimed on Sunday that Iran \u201clost respect\u201d for the US in the wake of the 2015 nuclear deal signed between Tehran and the world powers, and that it now feels \u201cemboldened\u201d by the agreement.
\n\u00a0
\nHe repeated Obama\u2019s catch-phrase \u201call options are still on the table\u201d to imply that the threat of the adoption of military action against Iran is still alive, but a day later the US president took back his word, stressing that he did not mean to threaten Tehran militarily.
\n\u00a0Also early Thursday, Trump echoed his national security adviser Michael Flynn\u2019s comments a day earlier that Iran is now formally \u201con notice\u201d for firing a ballistic missile.
\n\u00a0\u201cIran has been formally PUT ON NOTICE for firing a ballistic missile. Should have been thankful for the terrible deal the U.S. made with them!\u201d he tweeted, without providing any other details.
\n\u00a0\u201cIran was on its last legs and ready to collapse until the U.S. came along and gave it a life-line in the form of the Iran Deal: $150 billion,\u201d he added.
\n\u00a0Flynn during a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room last Wednesday criticized Iran for its recent ballistic missile test.
\n\u00a0The rallies this year are covered by over 3,250 reporters and photojournalists, including more than 250 from other countries.
\n\u00a0Led by the Founder of the Revolution, Imam Khomeini, Iranians confronted the forces of US-proxy Mohammad-Reza Pahlavi in late 1977 to end his oppressive, cruel and autocratic rule over the country.
\n\u00a0By December 1978, millions of Iranians would take to the streets in protest against the policies of the Shah on a regular basis.
\n\u00a0Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned from exile to Iran to be received by millions of cheering crowds after the departure of the Shah in mid-January 1979. Two weeks later, the country saw the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
\n\u00a0The final collapse of the Shah\u2019s regime came on February 10 when the military renounced its loyalty to the Shah and joined the revolutionary forces.
\n\u00a0On this day 38 years ago, people took to the streets to celebrate the collapse of the Pahlavi Dynasty and the emergence of the new era.<\/p>","content_source":"","content_url":"","content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2017-02-10 14:42:18","content_date_finish":"2017-02-10 14:42:18","content_date_register":"2017-02-10 14:43:51","content_date_last_edit":"2017-02-11 18:10:20","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"0","content_show_related_img":"0","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"1","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"0","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"1218127436","attach_date_register":"2017-02-10 14:43:44","attach_id":"1568","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"600","attach_img_height":"417","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"1","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"2383","visit_date_last":"2024-11-02 02:10:57","attach_title":"Iranians Stage Massive Rallies to Mark Anniversary of Islamic Revolution Victory 2","node_title":"Favorite,Important,News","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":98, \"left\":2, \"right\":11},{\"node_id\":125, \"left\":62, \"right\":63},{\"node_id\":126, \"left\":64, \"right\":65}]","node_number":"3","allowable_node":"3"}]]
