Millions of people have poured into the streets across Iran to celebrate the 46th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, which overthrew the U.S.-backed Pahlavi dynasty and established the Islamic Republic.
People took part in the rallies in Tehran and other cities, towns, and villages on Monday morning, renewing their allegiance to the ideals of the late founder of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah Rouhollah Khomeini.
The rallies kicked off at 9:30 local time (6:00 GMT) in 1,400 Iranian cities and towns and over 35,000 villages.
People chanted slogans in celebration of the historic event and waved the Iranian national flag.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian will address the crowd converging at Tehran’s Azadi Square.

Additionally, more than 350 newsgroups from different channels of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) and all provincial networks across the country are providing live news and video coverage of the rallies.
