Islamic Revolution fruition of Iranians’ endeavor for independence: Khatibzadeh

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said that the Islamic Revolution was the culmination of enduring efforts by the Iranian people to achieve independence and dignity.

According to Press TV, the spokesman made the remark in a post on Twitter on Wednesday, on the occasion of the 42nd anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, as people across the country celebrated the event.

“Our revolution was the fruition of a relentless national endeavor for independence & dignity. We've come a long way since, w/ great achievements at home & abroad. Won't rest until fulfilling our ideals,” Khatibzadeh said. “Paying tribute to those who sacrificed it all to advance #Iran.”

Each year on the 22nd of the month of Bahman on the Persian calendar, Iranians turn out to renew their allegiance to the Islamic establishment and Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic.

People from all walks of life rally in different cities and towns to celebrate the victory, which put an end to the monarchical rule of the US-backed Pahlavi regime.

This year, though, participants drove cars and bikes to mark the occasion due to the coronavirus pandemic.
